Therapy works! Learning to view, interpret, and respond to situations differently can lead to effective and lasting change. I will help you to assess what's working in your life--and what isn't--and provide feedback in a supportive environment. We will use your strengths to address areas that could use improvement.
I see people with a range of issues affecting their well-being, including depression, grief, anxiety, relationships, and life changes.
I help people develop their own unique and holistic coping strategies, drawing on individual skills, talents, and life experiences. I also perform evaluations required for bariatric surgery and have several years' experience with forensic evaluations and expert testimony.
Taking the first step toward getting help is often the most difficult
