I have been a therapist for 10 years. This has been a lifetime goal for me. I waited to become a therapist until I had the time in my life to dedicate myself to this career. My life experience has brought me to a place of openness and acceptance of everyone's life journeys. I have worked with all different types of people in many different walks of life. Everyone wants to be heard when life is not as we expect it to be. I believe that is what therapy is all about, being heard.

I am dedicated to helping people heal in their specific area of need. My general practice targets a multiplicity of needs by treating a variety of common psychological disorders (anxiety/phobias/depression, etc.), dysfunctional relationships (poor relationship choices, sexual "hang ups"), and stubborn repetitive habits/problems (procrastination, quick temper, etc). I have a technique that gets to the root of the problem, often quickly and very effectively, and helps people manage their lives differently from that point forward.
