I specialize in relationship issues with over 30 years of clinical experience. I provide compassionate care when you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck. I work on shifting problematic thoughts and behaviors.
My model of intervention is based on the client’s readiness and personality. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it’s the most efficient way to move forward for most clients.
I offer a supportive environment and reality-based treatment with a touch of humor. I worked at a hospital clinic for many years and can effectively deal with crises, substance abuse, and devastating life challenges.
