I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families to gain the insight to help break through the barriers of sadness, frustration, anxiety and fear. My work involves helping clients discover personal insights about why they feel the way they do in their personal and relationship patterns. I approach each client's needs and issues with respect and empathy in an objective, non-judgmental manner. We all have patterns of thoughts and behaviors that have helped us survive emotionally. It is my goal to help clients understand themselves better and resolve their problems to find the peace and happiness in their lives that they deserve.

MY APPROACH TO THERAPY IS TO PROVIDE AN OPEN AND NON-JUDGING ENVIRONMENT SO YOU CAN EXPRESS YOURSELF FREELY. Therapy needs to be customized to fit your needs. It may be phone counseling, group, individual or couples. You may be experiencing anxiety, infidelity, depression, sexual abuse, relationship issues or some other manifestation that's affecting your life. I believe we get better with people and become worse in isolation, so let's work together to bring you a better tomorrow. My substantial experience, non-judging stance and directness allows the process to work.

I've been in practice for many years, in both medical clinics and private practice settings, so I have treated all kinds of issues. Psychotherapy is a deeply personal and intimate experience, and I value the privilege of being a part of a person's commitment to change. Areas of advanced training include but are not limited to Brainspotting, the quick pulse (by Jo Dunning), codependence and abuse recovery, emotional freedom technique, Matrix Reimprinting, cognitive and psychodynamic psychotherapy, poetry therapy, marital and family therapy, sexual therapy, focused mindfulness, quantum entrainment, and spiritually focused therapy.

Do you feel sad or overwhelmed? Is anxiety preventing you from achieving your goals? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships or feel unable to change your life? Do you have difficulty sleeping? I can help you change your life and become the person you want to be. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the bond between a client and the therapist, and I make every effort to achieve this bond from the first session. My goal is to have you leave each session with a sense of peace, hope and empowerment.
