Hello and welcome. I’m honored to be part of your healing process. Reaching out can sometimes seem intimidating and overwhelming at first but I invite you into therapy with an open mind, warm positive regard, and no judgement. My style is collaborative, supportive, and compassionate. Together, we will work to examine your issues and develop purposeful goals that produce positive and long-lasting results while never throwing common sense out the proverbial window.
I have experience dealing with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, relationship problems, family conflict, grief and loss, codependency, addiction recovery, and much more. I have specialized training in the treatment of trauma. I’m open to working with all age groups and populations. You can go on down to read more in the “background” section if you like but it’s not really about me – it’s about you. What would you like to talk about today?
