When people make a choice to utilize therapy to change their lives, I believe there is no greater gift they can give themselves. I am so lucky to have made helping people change their lives into my full time career.
In addition to being a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I'm also a Certified Addiction Specialist and a Certified Women's Issues Specialist. I combine these certifications with additional training in Holistic Health and Buddhist Psychology.
This Holistic Approach allows me to treat a whole person -- not just one issue -- to get them on the path to health. What clients like most about me is my ability to take my caring nature and combine it with my passion and ambition to help them succeed.
