"I believe that emotional healing can be brought about within the framework of relationships, so in my therapy sessions I work to create a safe environment where clients can work through issues in their lives that may be hindering them from reaching their true potential.
I believe it's possible in therapy to gain insight into our deepest desires to learn and grow, and to develop successful communication skills. These skills in turn help us develop and maintain successful interpersonal relationships with others."

"I believe that each person is unique, and as such, requires an individual treatment approach to make lasting psychological, emotional, and behavioral changes. In my clinical practice I have worked with individuals with depression, anxiety, chronic mental illness, and significant transitional life issues (i.e., new baby, divorce, marriage, pre-marital, etc). I have also worked with post-deployment veterans and young adults (i.e., graduate students/professionals) with stress management/civilian reintegration and early career planning. I enjoy helping people and am open to working with those who are eager to grow through the therapeutic process."

"Life can be hard. The unexpected and the uninvited happens. We can become overwhelmed and often feel stuck or even disconnected from our own lives.

"In my experience, therapy is most effective when we let down pretenses and be real people with each other. Call or email me and lets talk about what's going on and how I can help. I love helping people to face the things that are holding them back from a good life. I especially love the work I've done helping people save their marriages, lose weight and get healthy, work through old stuff, and get a handle on debilitating anxiety and crushing depression. Therapy really does work. Things can be different."
