I am originally from Chicago and I have called Florida home for over 20 years. I believe that everyone is capable of greatness if they can only get the direction and chance that they need. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step". To me this means that no matter where you have started in life and whatever challenge that you are facing, you are not stuck and you can achieve things that you may not have been able to imagine.

Is it difficult for you to maintain relationships? Marriage or relationship in trouble? Have you noticed control issues in your life? Perfectionism tendencies? Infertility/pregnancy issues?

Ultimately, my therapeutic style is led by your needs. My goal is to understand and listen to your preferences and opinions. This process is only effective when we work together!
