We are experiencing extraordinary challenges right now. I personally understand and professionally appreciate the multitude of stressors that people are facing these days. Life typically demands much of us. Today in this fast paced society the demands are unparalleled. Depression and anxiety run rampant impacting the quality of our lives on all levels. I treat adult and adolescent age males and females in my 50+ years in practice conducting individual, couple, family and group sessions. My goal is to help my clients to transform their lives achieving greater balance, harmony and happiness.
My philosophical foundation is centered in Humanistic Existentialistism while my therapeutic orientation is based in Mindfulness Training and is an eclectic blend of Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic processes. I endeavor to bring this knowledge wholeheartedly to the support of my clients.
It’s my intention and an honor to provide a safe and comfortable space for my clients to experience freedom of expression while addressing their issues and accessing their pain. It’s my goal that you will achieve physical, mental and psychological well-being by way of fostering an opportunity to gain mindful awareness and spiritual enlightenment.

I work with clients struggling with disorders of mood and personality from the stress of feeling overwhelmed. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
