People seek psychological services for many different reasons. Regardless of the reason that brings someone to therapy, I provide a comfortable, safe, and supportive environment. This setting allows people to feel safe in exploring barriers that prevent them from reaching optimal health and their fullest potential.

What gets in the way of having a satisfying life? Repetitive behaviors, thoughts, and feelings can be troubling. How can problems be resolved? Through talk therapy!

I work collaboratively with clients to resolve issues that prevent having a fulfilled life or reaching goals or accomplishments. For over 25 years I have worked with adolescents, families, individuals, couples, and young adults . Why not discuss your concerns?
