As a licensed psychotherapist for over 20 years I have worked with a variety of populations in different settings. I have extensive experience in marital counseling, and have worked with many people struggling with anxiety, depression, anger and other issues.

My approach is grounded in the latest research, and will address the environmental, spiritual and psychological roots of your problem.

When a client comes to me for therapy, they are seeking some way to not just share their problems but to find solutions and remedies based on their own effort. The point having therapy is for the individual to be able to find their own answer based on what works for them and created on their terms. The reason that people would want to achieve this autonomous feeling is because this develops into a security that the individual can feel confident in themselves to rely on themselves when tackling life’s problems and everyday obstacles.
