Congratulations! You are looking into therapy and contemplating making changes in your life. If feelings of sadness, anxiety, relational difficulties, grief or past trauma get in the way of your happiness let's work together to address them. I will respond you in couple hours after you contact me. Effective counseling not only can change the mind but can change the brain as well. Counseling can support the building of new neuron connections! That process is called “neuroplasticity,” I can assist you in exploring what led you here and how to make changes to feel better.
All of my training has been centered on assisting my clients in developing more effective coping skills to deal with depression, anxiety, bipolar or addictions. I teach tools clients can use to relieve their stress & symptoms. I also specialize in helping couples connect emotionally to develop strong and loving relationships using the Gottman method.
I focus on helping clients discover their strengths and genuinely connect with people in their lives. As a cancer survivor, I am not afraid to enter with you the painful issues in your life. Virginia Satir said “Life is not what it’s supposed to be. It’s what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.” Let's work together to cope better.

I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families in crisis utilizing neurocounseling. Psychotherapy produces long term behavior change by modifying gene expression and brain structure which strengthens connection and communication between neurons.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems in my practice. In our sessions we can explore how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors. In addition we can figure out how your family of origin and past experiences contributed to who you are today. We will work on identifying, challenging and changing unhelpful patterns in your thinking and in your behaviors.
