I believe that everyone who walks into my office comes with their own unique personality and life experiences; I don't believe that the same approach works for everyone. People are so much more than the diagnosis or "label" they are given. Getting to know my clients and building a trusting relationship is the most important part of therapy. In the end, my goal is to help my clients rely on their own strengths and successes to help them through personal challenges.

Our clients range in ages between 25 and 75. Their needs are varied but so are our services. Except for age, we do not limit ourselves to a particular niche of service. We provide help for over 200 presenting issues. From Addiction to Writers' Block and everything in between. The majority of our clients come to us for smoking cessation, weight loss, generalized anxiety and depression, trauma, relationship issues, OCD, ADHD and ADD.
