About me

Hi there! I am a licensed therapist and have been in the field for 30 years. I have a doctorate in Philosophy with a focus of Psychology. I specialize in personality disorders, anger management, and trauma. My passion is working with adults that present with an array of issues including but not limited to anger, trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, and criminal behavior. I have a lengthy background with couple counseling, effective communication, and narcissistic abuse.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together we will do a brief introduction and then dive into the challenges that you are currently experiencing that brought you to therapy. In the following session we will identify goals that will guide us throughout your treatment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my greatest strength is my dedication to the success of my patients. My approach will be dependent on what your needs are at the time of the session. This includes providing validation, guidance, challenging your thoughts, providing alternative viewpoints and methods of coping, all when appropriate and therapeutic.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with adults who are eager to make a change in their life. If you are dedicated to yourself and your mental health, you are already headed for success.
