My mission statement is focused on assisting others to find their autonomy, self-actualization, and sense of empowerment in the midst of every day challenges.
My approach is client centered, humanistic and relational; inviting the client to explore the dynamics of self awareness, deeper meanings, and healthy change. This is cultivated in a safe, relaxed, and confidential atmosphere.
I work with clients of all ages and in all circumstances; while accepting all insurances with the exception of Medicare and Medicaid. If insurance is unavailable reasonable "out of pocket" rates can be negotiated. Hours of availability are extremely accommodating (6 days a week).
