I believe in the process of therapy and I am dedicated to helping you reach your goals. If you are seeking assistance and would like to begin therapy with a down-to-earth and compassionate therapist, I may be the right match for you. I believe you have the answers within you and any changes you make are the result of your hard work. If you choose to share your story with me, I will feel honored to help guide conversations, offer a different point of view, challenge thoughts, and listen with a non-judgmental mind and open heart.
In 1992 I graduated with a degree in Comprehensive Psychology/Sociology. For 13 years I worked in human services before pursuing my Master of Social Work degree. I bring to my skill set a wealth of life experience and have worked with a wide variety of client populations.
If you are ready to begin therapy and feel I may be the right therapist for you, please give me a call so we can discuss any questions or concerns you may have, as well as set up your first appointment. Thank you for your consideration.
