About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience working as a therapist with clients in a variety of settings. I have worked with both adults and children with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges and school related issues, substance abuse, aging issues, LBGT issues, PTSD, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

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, solution focused, client centered 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!
