Hi! I am a therapist with 29 years of experience and love working with people to help become the best version of themselves. I form strong therapeutic alliances with the people I work with and help them find the path to feeling better about themselves and their lives. I am positive and supportive and work with people to be solution focused and to quickly learn to be more independent and to trust in themselves and the decisions they make. They will see me as their greatest cheerleader and advocate who is able to help them ask themselves the right questions to be able to make confident decisions on his/her or their own. I am also a CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional).

I work with clients from various walks of life ages 12 years and older who experience depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, learning disabilities, and relationship as well as emotional difficulties. No matter the reason for seeking therapy--whether to better manage your anxiety or to improve the quality of your relationships with family and friends--you’re taking the first step, and I congratulate you for that because it’s not an easy thing to do.
