I have been assisting people to overcome depression, anxiety and to repair relationships seemingly in free-fall for more than 40 years. Because there is no shortcut to peace and well-being, treatment is open-ended, tailored to each person's unique needs. Teletherapy by computer, tablet, and smartphone is available for individual, couple, and group treatment sessions. With COVID-19, Shelter-in-Place puts even more stress on relationships and employment. Alcohol, drug use, and porn addiction can make relationships even harder. I have much experience assisting addicts to achieve a more peaceful and productive life for self and family.

My approach as a therapist depends entirely upon your treatment needs. Everyone is unique, with different strengths and weaknesses, and everybody has their own path for a better life. Helping you establish clear goals with an estimated time frame for therapy will be addressed in the first session. Your sense of safety, comfort and trust are essential ingredients for every step of the therapy process. I have enjoyed counseling individuals, couples, families and groups as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 30 years. To consult about scheduling an appointment, call or text 804-559-4566
