I have been successful in helping client's reach their full potential when struggling with life events that can lead to anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, addiction, and marital conflicts.

Together we can make lasting changes for a healthier lifetime, however the choice is yours!

Choosing a therapist and getting started itself can be overwhelming. I believe that treatment must be specific to the person and the problem and be based on a broad array of available clinical modalities and interventions.

I head a group private practice with many available resources for adults and children. I am a leader in the field of abuse and trauma as well as sexuality and relationships.

As we move along our journey on the road of life, we sometimes encounter bends in the road that impact us in difficult ways.

My office is an environment of non-judgment, where your issues whether heavy or light can begin the process of transformation into solution and healing.
