About

Therapy is about YOU...your needs, your hopes for change, your life. It is my job to create a safe, welcoming environment for you to work on the goals we set together. People begin or return to therapy for all sorts of reasons. But often the catalyst is a significant life transition. Relationships are suffering, personal issues are becoming too difficult to take, or a particular challenge/situation has arisen. "We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing." Please don't wait until a crisis hits, get help today.
For couples, the best time for therapy is right when you start to notice a disconnection. Just like a car, it is easier to do a relational "tune-up" than to wait until the engine blows! Regardless of the catalyst, each person seeking therapy is in pain.
Pain ranging from mild twinges of discomfort to chronic, intense despair. People seek therapy hoping for a solution...for relief! That is exactly what I have to offer RELIEF. In addition to working with individuals, I love working with families and relational issues with my innovative therapy technique. I also provide video and teletherapy as well.
