The trials of life sometimes bring sadness and fear. I offer a place for healing and help in a safe environment, for children, adolescents, and adults. I will help you to find the answers to your conflicts and concerns. Whatever the problem we will work together to find the way out. I offer hope for the hopeless.
I specialize in DID, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. I have worked with hundreds of children, adolescents, and adults who have been sexually, emotionally, or physically abused. I also address relationship issues, as well as many other struggles.
Your therapy will be specifically geared toward you and your needs. We will work together to determine what approach works best for you.

"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
