I'm an experienced clinician with over 30 years in the mental health field, dedicated to others seeking change in their lives.
First session
I am curious about your situation, what you've done to address it and how you think therapy may bring you comfort and/or resolution. I am an empathic active listener, affirming and supporting people's experiences. I want you to feel empowered, listened to and cared for.
Strengths
I always look for the best and brightest in people; if you want change you have to have the strength and courage to take the next step. I am a good listener, have a healthy sense of humor to embolden others while also challenging others to consider changing one's mind, attitude or behavior. I have years of experience that allow me to build upon proven strategies and techniques to work with people who have not quite found the therapist yet. An attentive ear. Thoughtful analysis. Creative solutions.
Ideal clients
I love working with individuals working through stressors brought about by change and are curious and courageous about what the future holds for them. Change can be exciting and stressful, and I can serve as a sounding board, a guide and a resource. I am here to provide a warm and nurturing environment that supports your best you to navigate through the feelings that may arise with uncertainty.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
To be our best selves, it's important to sort through that internal critic that while it may keep us safe and humble may be paralyzing and debilitating.
