Do you struggle with sadness, depression, relationship issues or stress? Do you attempt to compensate with food, alcohol, drugs, other substances or behaviors? I provide therapy for people who are struggling emotionally in any area of their life. My approach to therapy is tailored to the person in front of me, as each person's needs and history are unique. I know that reaching out for professional help can be difficult for many. That is why I have developed a practice that is kind and compassionate. My long experience has taught me that therapy must be dynamic, interactive, non-judgmental, along with a healthy sense of humor.
I take a whole-person, integrative approach based on my 40+ years of education, training, and experience in psychotherapy, psychology, nutrition, medicine, eating disorders, and addictions. Together we can develop a new understanding of who you are, thereby discovering and encouraging the tools that will allow you to build on your strengths and heal.
If my approach sounds like a good match for you, then please call me to schedule an initial consultation. We will work as a team to identify and affect the individual change you need to address your specific concerns.
