From my heart to your heart...to the heart of the matter. Whether its trauma, abuse, abandonment, grief, addiction, or the end of a significant relationship, we all have unfinished business to sort through. Individuals usually know what to do when they enter into therapy, but anxiety, fear, depression, and maladaptive patterns of coping keep them stuck in repetitive cycles of unhappiness. More than a diagnosis, you are a human being hoping to reclaim that better part of yourself. Through guidance in a nurturing environment, personal growth and self acceptance are possible.

Each person is a unique individual with unique needs. I tailor each session to best suit your personality and learning style. I have used almost all therapy methods over my 30 years. What works for one, is not effective for the other. We will start simply...with conversation and getting comfortable with each other. We go forward from there.
