My primary role as a therapist is in creating these conditions. Secondly, I act as a facilitator in your conversation with yourself, your partner, or your child - helping you to discover a deeper appreciation of the problem.

We will collaborate on exploring possible solutions as you discover the courage to make gradual, empowering changes."

" A preponderance of my clients struggle with anxiety and mood disorders. Most of my clients fall into an age range of 18 to 75 years. Since I work primarily with phone therapy, many of my clients prefer the convenience of doing therapy by phone from their own homes instead of in person. At this time I do not use Skype or other apps to provide a visual image of myself and my client, as I feel it distracts from the process of listening carefully to what clients have to say. "
