Each of my clients is my priority. When you become a patient with me, you gain my full attention, care, and drive to address and treat your concern(s). While I have decades of experience to bring to the table, I also know that each of my clients is a unique person in a unique situation, and what works for one patient may not be the correct course of action for another. I take the time you deserve to truly understand your situational factors as well as mental factors regarding your concern, and work to find the correct path forward for YOU.

I work with clients struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family, including addiction, PTSD and other struggles. During our sessions, we will work to prioritize the issues at hand and collaborate to develop a plan to address these issues. Most of my clients see an improvement of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement and maintenance thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
