Creating a life of purpose and joy is possible with the right support. For more than 25 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people of all ages as they navigated through the challenges they faced. I love what I do, and I am passionate about helping people move through their most difficult times, helping them to find meaning in their lives and connection in their relationships. In order to help more people, I formed a group practice of talented and compassionate like-minded therapists, each with their own unique style and set of skills, and a passion for helping others. My group practice is called Positive Therapy 4U.
Feeling comfortable and connected to your therapist is an important part of therapy. We strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space, which is so critical for growth to occur. Our client-centered approach allows us to focus on you as a unique individual. We will help you recognize your own inner strengths, develop new skills, and find the peace you deserve.
Our most difficult times offer the greatest opportunities for growth. As we work together, you will find the hope and strength you need to overcome the challenges you are facing. Our goal is to provide treatment that is culturally informed and sensitive to race, religion, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Call or email to start your healing journey.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression and life transitions. During our initial sessions, we will discuss the issues you are struggling with and together develop a plan to address them so you can begin to feel better. Most of my clients report feeling a sense of hope after the first session and symptoms begin to lift within the first month, continuing thereafter.
