2,500 years ago Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." He believed a good life requires an understanding of why we think, act, and feel as we do. Since relationship is part of psychotherapy, the personalities and philosophies of life of the client and therapist must be compatible. I am well-suited for clients who are curious about human behavior - their own as well as that of others. Before there were psychologists, the issues of life were addressed by philosophers. Thoroughly examining life includes considering ancient wisdom and spiritual reality as well as psychology (the science of mind and behavior).

I am an experienced, thoughtful and caring therapist that will help you overcome or work on any issues, problems or concerns that you are dealing with. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and I have worked with singles, couples, families, seniors, and adolescents. I am empathic and an active listener. I treat all of my clients with unconditional positive regard and respect. I do not believe in a one size fits all therapy approach. Every client is different and has different needs and that is my focus. I work with the entire person to help them improve their mental health and over all well-being.

I approach my work with clients from a non-judgmental, empathetic, caring and nurturing approach. Therapy should be driven by the clients needs and a safe place to bring issues and concerns, without fear of judgment or rejection. You, the client, should determine what we will discuss as well as the goals we work on together. I hope through our time spent together, you will have the opportunity to explore areas of concerns, as well as feel better and less stressed in your daily life. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to new clients, so we can better get to know each other and see if we are a good match for therapy.
