Life can sometimes place so many obstacles you are not sure what to do or how to handle them. Then past issues get in the way of your ability to move on with things in your life and make it difficult to handle daily challenges.

I am a conscientious, caring therapist with over twenty-four years of experience offering advice, support, rehabilitation, and non-judgmental guidance to clients who have experienced trauma and hardship. Serving adolescents, adults and seniors.

My therapeutic approach is holistic, client-centered, and solution-focused. Everyone is unique, and once I get to know you, I’ll use the therapeutic tools and methods that I determine will be most beneficial to you. I like to draw from solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and narrative therapy, all of which offer ways of viewing problems from different perspectives and the opportunity for empowered participation in the unfolding of new realities. With compassion and understanding, I seek to work collaboratively with each client to encourage investigation and productive problem solving.

Please call to confirm I am in-network with your plan.*** I approach therapy from an evidence-based perspective by letting you know what the research has shown to be the most effective way of handling whatever problems you’re struggling with.
