Everyone is different, and therefore, requires a therapist who is tailored to their individual needs. I am dedicated in helping you through challenges you may be experiencing, whether this is something new for you, or has been attached to you for some time. My down to earth personality will help you feel comfortable and generate a dialogue that will bring you through life's difficulties. As a licensed therapist, I will aid in identifying challenges, and provide feedback to work towards positive change, thus enabling you to find inner strength and peace in your life.
My specialties include working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety and depression. Additionally, I have been an instructor for parent education, anger management and co-custody parenting. Other areas of expertise include addiction, mood management, relationship issues including divorce mediation, communication skill-building, family struggles, trauma, and stress management.
I believe a good therapist provides a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I am here to guide you through this process, by helping you achieve a greater understanding of yourself and those around you. I look forward to meeting you soon.
