"My approach to therapy is built on the belief that all of us have the answers to life's struggles. What we all need is a safe place to begin to uncover the wisdom we carry within ourselves. It is not my place to tell you what to do. I believe that my role as therapist is to create that safe place, and provide an environment of hope so that the healing you desire in your life can begin..."

"Exploring strategies for life change is a fascinating endeavor. I partner with clients to help them create significant transformations, i.e. help change their point of view about problematic concerns, change behaviors that need to be increased or decreased and change longstanding destructive patterns to new life enhancing choices. I rely heavily on scientific findings to facilitate human change. There are varieties of effective traditional and modern psychological treatments such or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Cognitive behavioral therapy is the gold standard for anxiety, depressions, phobias and fears."

"My approach benefits those who struggle with depressed moods, wish to confront fears that limit their ability to fully experience life, are burdened by the memories of violence and abuse, want to overcome their loss, have unresolved issues regarding spirituality, and wish to connect more meaningfully with others. My role as your counselor is to help you in navigating challenges and obstacles life has brought your way. I provide a safe and supportive environment where, using empirically supported techniques and our own creativity, we develop insights and solutions to your difficulties. *** NOTICE: I am currently not accepting new clients ***"
