I help persons of all ages whose anxiety is spoiling their ability to participate fully in life. Chronic untreated anxiety is a deep form of suffering not visible to others. Treatment starts when you feel really heard and understood. I always begin by listening deeply. The journey of healing and change can be made a bit lighter when shared with a caring therapist. I provide safe, supportive and interactive help to enable you, or your loved one, to manage and overcome anxieties and fears. Together we can make your life and relationships better.

Sometimes we just need a safe place where we can be ourselves and work on our own healing-whatever it may be. Beginning therapy can be scary for some people and I believe in meeting people where they are to build a safe space where they can work on life issues.

Many in today's world are looking for answers to difficult questions. They want to know how to handle the problems they face within their marriages and with their children.

I work with people who struggle with anxiety, mood swings, addictions, and marital problems. Life can be difficult at times, especially when we feel isolated. So often, we wear masks for the benefit of those around us, while inside we suffer and abuse ourselves. Few people are truly the person that their friends perceive them to be on the inside.Fewer still are those completely at peace with themselves.
