My website
I have worked as a psychologist for over 30 years, and still appreciate how much courage it takes to make the decision to begin therapy and to follow through with that decision. I have worked with many adults to address depression, anxiety, traumas, stresses, losses, or other concerns. I respect the courage it takes to talk about thoughts, feelings and situations that are difficult and uncomfortable. I always work to have a judgement free space and together, with a client, work to increase their understanding of themselves and better illuminate opportunities for making the changes they may seek.
Experience has taught me a great deal. I understand that situations, life, and making changes are harder than they appear. Within my training and practice, I work to help increase personal awareness, provide strategies to address thoughts and feelings, and collaborate with each client to feel more empowered in their relationships and lives.
Beginning therapy, or returning to therapy, is a big step. A connection to the therapist is a major factor in treatment effectiveness. If you would like to meet with me to see if you feel comfortable doing such important work for yourself, please reach out. Best of luck on your journey FOR YOU!
