I welcome most clients who desire enhanced mental dispositions. I work with toddlers, teens, adults, and seniors. I promote the most positive attitude in my practice and I share all of my talents in hopes of attaining the very best results possible.

My work is rooted in a desire to support you in recognizing and resolving whatever holds you back, whether that's conscious or unconsciously held beliefs; internalized messages received from family, culture, or a sick society; grief, loss, anxiety or depression, or the challenge of major life transitions. I believe we each hold the wisdom and power to build and sustain meaningful careers, relationships, and lives, even amid circumstances and pasts that are beyond our control. There is so much within our control when we are ready to give ourselves to that.

I also specialize in working with parents and men's issues. I offer a place where you will feel safe, comfortable, and free of judgment.
