As a psychotherapist I view my role as a consultant, not unlike other professional consultants. Utilizing clients' inherent life skills and developing new skills, I assist them in finding ways to work through barriers to growth.

Over the years I have develop various proven modalities in which to help clients manage anxiety, anger and stress-related disorders.

The relationship between client and clinician is a key component of treatment efficacy. I believe that this therapeutic relationship is founded in a spirit of collaboration, an emotional bond and an agreement on goals and tasks.

I am confident in my ability to help resolve any issues in a satisfying manner, prepared in both theory and practice, clear in my thoughts, ideas, and logical in the problem solving process.

Childhood & adolescence is hard sometimes, & it can be even harder to find someone to talk to about everyday issues like problems with friends, anxiety, depression, or any other negative emotion.

Let's work together to slowly allow those feelings to release in a secure, safe, and friendly environment.
