It is inevitable that our lives are consumed with daily challenges and obstacles. For each of us, our ability to manage those challenges differs; or, we settle and adapt much to the detriment of our emotional wellbeing and feeling as though there is no end in sight. Therapy provides an opportunity to examine those challenges and reframe them into a new, positive perspective. When we are able to see our way through and discover solutions to those problems from a position of strength, it can take on a whole new meaning.

Change is your choice. We often seek support when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or confused. When we can't find the ground or see our way through the thick of the storm.

I'm here to be your ally, working with you and for you to accomplish your goals.

Life can become overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to manage. Therapy is a place to regain and restore a sense of self and purpose.

My years of counseling have provided me with the skills and compassion to have helped people with the variety of problems that confront the human condition.

REGARDING COVID 19: We have to find ways to cope without lots of the things we normally rely on (going out with friends, going to the gym, 12-step meetings, religious services, etc.). Tele-therapy can really help you to cope while you’re social-distancing in your home. If you don’t have insurance, we can discuss a reasonable fee you can afford, based on a sliding scale.

One of the greatest satisfactions is knowing that I can help others heal and live a happy, healthy, fulfilling life. In a safe non-judgemental environment, I help my clients with warmth, compassion, and empathy to gain insight and a better understanding of themselves, and their partner. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples have meaningful and fulfilling relationships. I never take sides and am always on the side of the relationship.
