I work with individuals who are struggling with issues that interfere with their overall life satisfaction and level of happiness. My basic optimism that people can change drives my practice philosophy. I recognize that there are motivational factors that interfere with people's readiness for change and therefore see myself as a change agent to help the individuals I work with to become ready and then able to make changes in terms of coping skills, relationship skills, managing mood instability, substance issues, eating disorders and other compulsive behaviors. My years of practice experience and training have prepared me to offer skilled interventions and expertise.

"One size seldom fits all" and the same is true with therapists. Finding a therapist that connects with you and understands your needs is the foundation of your journey for change. Life can get complicated, but working together, we can explore the problems and work toward solutions in a warm, supportive, confidential and most important a nonjudgemental atmosphere. Since one size seldom fits all, I use a variety of behavioral approaches to create a shift in my clients' self awareness.

I love the work that I do because I understand how important emotional and mental health are in the life of every individual. In my practice I strive to provide each client with a safe place to explore their thoughts and feelings, as well as their experiences and behaviors. Together, you and I will begin to explore what in your life is creating barriers. Step by step we will create goals to help you begin to thrive. Working with clients at various stages of life and personal growth has taught me that we all want to feel respected and understood, and that it is never too late to make your happiness a priority.

Your life challenges do not get better by chance, they get better by change. Allow me to support you in that change process. I am a licensed Social Worker and therapist with over 25 years of experience providing individual and family therapy with adults and families. My goal is to provide a warm, caring, non-judgmental environment, one which values your religious beliefs and cultural diversity, to facilitate the life changes needed to achieve your full potential.
