I provide a relaxed and non-judgmental environment in which to focus on understanding the issues you are having and to map out an effective path to change.

I have been in private practice for over 20 years and have helped people change their lives and relationships.

I see your uniqueness and your potential. My approach is to see the whole of you: body mind and spirit.

I have been a therapist for 25 plus years practicing in agency based and private practice settings. My practice is grounded in the understanding that the mind and the body are inextricably linked; and that healing one often effects healing in the other. Therapy offers an opportunity to get comfortable in our own skin. This is especially important now as these are anxiety provoking and difficult times for many people. The need for social distancing and coping with some global unknowns can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. I help people address feelings of anxiety, loneliness, productivity, self-care and goal setting.

Working with diverse communities in the Rivertowns, women, couples, students and people of all ages are my specialties. I believe in a warm, compassionate and professional approach to counseling where client and counselor are able to work together. Assessing the strengths of each individual, and helping that person achieve their life goals despite the many obstacles in their way, or the losses they may be suffering is what I strive for as a therapist. As Carl Rogers says best "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."

I view therapy as a collaboration between patient and therapist. We are a team with a common objective. When you come in, we will first complete a thorough intake, and then put together a treatment plan that meets your individual needs. During therapy you will learn skills and techniques which you will practice in between sessions, and implement in your everyday life. I believe that if people understand what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how it is going to help them, then they will be more likely to engage in treatment, and benefit more from therapy.
