My Approach to Therapy

I am highly empathetic, skilled, and interested in you and your success. I will encourage and support you to rise above and move beyond your challenges. I whole-heartedly believe that participating in counseling can be SO valuable in a person's life. I'm a therapist who follows the philosophy that counseling is for the CLIENT, not the therapist's business. Your time working with me focuses on YOU and You ARE worth it! I feel it is a privilege that clients allow me into their lives often despite past or present hurts, losses, and/or traumas. I am wholly aware that a client can chose any therapist, but am so appreciative that my clients allow me to walk alongside them in their journey into and through discovery.

My Practice & Services

I accept most major insurance plans; please contact me or check my website for further details. I offer initial phone consultation because it is so important that the client feel comfortable with his/her therapist and truly believe YOU deserve the time and interest. Are life's challenges overwhelming you? Feel like there's nothing good in your life? Your relationship struggling to survive/flourish? If so, I'm excited at the opportunity to walk alongside you in your 'Road to Discovery'. I'm passionate about and highly skilled in mood, personality, anxiety and addiction disorders, trauma-related issues, and relationship challenges. Seems all too often, we don't put our emotional/psychological health as a priority, but we should, because it WILL make a difference in your life. The focus will always be YOU because YOU are what matters the most!

Adept at mood, anxiety, substance abuse, and personality disorders; PTSD and trauma-related issues; and relationship, conflict, grief & loss, and gender-specific issues.

The fact that I am genuinely interested in you and your family creates a healthy environment for discovery and recovery.
