As an understanding empathetic counselor, I am dedicated to helping clients develop real and workable solutions to the obstacles they encounter as they journey through life. Clients are assisted to explore thought patterns, behaviors, systems and dynamics in order to produce the best outcome for their circumstance.

My experience includes concerns such as ADHD, Anxiety & Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Type II, Gender Related Concerns, Chronic Illness/Pain, and many other topics less widely experienced.

“WE take an eclectic approach to providing therapeutic services. Our objective in therapy is "Facilitating Good Mental Health". We believe good mental health is a journey not a destination. Life can be challenging but it is our choices that increase the level of difficulty. Therapy provides the support and tools needed to navigate life's challenges. Achieving good mental health requires a collaborative relationship, which begins with building a trusting therapeutic environment. In practice, We utilize a variety of theoretical approaches such as Reality/Choice Theory, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Family Systems.”

I believe that the connection I have with my clients not only allows them to open up to me, but others as well. Most importantly, I believe that working with others is a tremendous responsibility and a sacred trust. It is an honor I never take lightly.
