About
I am a warm, supporting, compassionate therapist who takes a practical and interactive approach in helping my adult clients. I work in conjunction with my clients to help address life issues and examine thoughts and feelings which can lead to being "stuck" or "unhappy". Since our lives are filled with changed, both expected and unexpected my goal in working with my clients is to reach insight into thoughts and actions and develop appropriate life changes leading to a more fulfilling life.
With 20+ years spent working with clients and a background in Behavioral Therapy (Cognitive and Rational Emotive), Mindfulness Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy, I have proven experience guiding clients down healthier, more positive life paths.
I specialize in treating adult clients with interpersonal conflicts, relationship issues, mood and anxiety disorders, and women's issues. I am a Certified First Responder Counselor (CFRC) working with police, firefighters, EMT's, and other first responders. I look forward to developing a relationship with and helping you become your best self.
