I am a licensed clinical therapist with over 29 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. My role as a therapist is to facilitate the healing process and to empower my clients to make the changes that they desire in their lives. I work with clients on a wide variety of issues including: Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Relationship Issues. Stress Management, Addiction and LGBTQ plus issues.

My goal is for every student to be his or her personal best. I want my clients to realize their abilities and attain what they want to achieve. I empower your student, by helping him or her realize strengths and provide skills to overcome or compensate for challenges. We ALL have some attention deficit, anxiety, depression, learning, and autism spectrum disorder characteristics that interfere at times. Private psychological testing helps us know when these behaviors or feelings are beyond what is age expected and how it may hinder success. Individual therapy helps us learn to minimize the negatives, feel confident and be happy.

I help people during difficult periods of life whether it's caused by relationships with loved ones, illness, loss and grief, lifestyle changes caused by transitioning and being able to get to the reasons and ways to manage health issues and other issues that might affect your mental health well being. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach along with eclectic techniques that would apply to each person in a unique way.

"You have power over your mind-not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength". Marcus Aurelius. Life can often get difficult and certain events may derail you off your path of emotional and mental well-being. If you have accepted the need to make a change, you may want to consider reaching out to an objective professional for empowerment and strength to get you back on track.

My philosophy is practical and straightforward with an emphasis on personal responsibility. My approach is caring and supportive, but firm and result oriented. I will give you the tools to change your world. Here and now therapy focuses on the issues at hand, their investigation,understanding and resolution. It is, at times, necessary to go back in history and life experience in order to understand current thoughts, attitudes and behaviors. The goal however is always to find practical solutions and promote change that leads to a fuller and happier life.

While people tend to not give themselves as much credit for how they manage life stressors, it is important to recognize that support is helpful in effectively overcoming challenges. Therapy serves as a tool to address these issues without feeling alone and judged. Learning ways to cope and process whatever life throws our way can lead to a reduction in distress and increased feelings of empowerment, setting us up for improvements in mood and relationship quality.

What brings you here today? What are you unclear about in your life, that if you figured it out, would make the biggest difference? You can't always be prepared to handle work-life, relationships, loss, and life transitions that cause anxiety and depression. Life happens and it's "OK" to have a few bad days. Through the therapeutic process, I want to help you embark on a journey to diagnose hidden symptoms of mental and emotional trauma that hinders your ability to cultivate healthy narratives. I want you to take control of your PURPOSE, GOALS, and become the BEST version of YOU.
