Have you seen other therapists?  It’s important to find someone you click with.  I take pride in being a down-to-earth therapist who believes that all people have to capacity to change and make improvements in their lives.

Do you feel emotionally defeated? Are you a family member, or is your marriage in crisis? I offer older teens, adults, and couples effective strategies that give hope. I believe a Therapist must provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where a client feels free to engage in the treatment process that leads to emotional healing, restoration, and life transformation. I am committed to providing that environment so that you can enter into that process, and together we can discuss those challenges as we work on mutually agreed-upon solutions.
