Life can throw us serious challenges, and pain, anger, depression or addiction are often our reaction. But all these strong reactions are not who you are, and change is always possible. I can help you to face your issues and challenges, in a compassionate, supportive environment, to make NEW choices, and create a more loving, fulfilling life.
It starts with a safe environment, where you feel heard and seen without judgment. I use my decades of mental health experience, with a cognitive and client-centered approach that is solution-oriented, guiding you to your own path forward. I work a great deal with anxiety, depression, trauma and alcohol or substance use disorder.
Your growth and success in life are my mission. Take charge of your life, by taking the first step, and reach out to me by phone or email, so together we can start your healing journey in strength, compassion and empathy.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in my practice. We will start by looking at what brought you to therapy, what issues you wish to manage, and look at how your thought process affects your feelings and experience. You will learn how to create better boundaries, to push back on those thoughts which bring you into the dark, and to create effective change.
