About me

One of my favorite authors said, "Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing himself". Our selves are ultimately the only thing we really can change so I view asking for help as a sign of deep strength.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of clinical and counseling experience. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds with all levels of severity- from the everyday stressors of life to serious and difficult emotional challenges. My clients have had a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I've seen it all and I urge clients to feel comfortable disclosing anything to me.

Empathy is at the heart of my counseling style. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and compassion. My approach is mainly humanistic, that is I try to help my clients realize their potentials and be the best they can be. However, when it's useful I also combine other approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamics and existential counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I look forward to working with you!
