I am an experienced Therapist, MA, LPC and LCADC with a BA in Education and MA in Counseling/Psychology. I have worked in all levels of care in the Mental Health and Addictions fields for the past 20 years (detox, inpatient, residential, PHP, IOP and OP) for hospitals, agencies and non-profits. I am dedicated to supporting individuals throughout their therapeutic experience, fostering awareness and change. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution based therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, trauma, abuse and ADHD. An individualized eclectic approach is taken to help the client define goals and objectives. I offer a therapeutic relationship that is comfortable, warm, and open to discussing all issues. Through support, understanding and active listening we explore life issues together, so clients may have a better ability to enjoy life and feel understood. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

When we begin our session, we will talk about you, past to present from brief childhood beginning, to education, to work and relationships, to present status and what brought you to therapy. We will get to know each other and develop a comfortable, warm and open foundation to grow from.
