“I believe that everyone has within them the ability to overcome personal and psychological obstructions to develop their full potential. I see myself as a team member in the client's journey for growth and change.

I prefer to use an eclectic approach dependent on the needs of the client. My skills and tools include cognitive restructuring, behavioral adaptations, positive re-enforcements/affirmations, guided imagery, mind-body re-connecting, family therapy, and communication skill building.

I am interactive in my approach and encourage homework exercises and skill building activities. I am accessible by cell phone or e-mail 24/7 in case of emergency.”
