Personal Statement

Being a therapist was not my first career. It was a path I choose later in life after learning first hand the power of good therapy. Like most of us, I’ve had my own challenges. I’ve known the pain of divorce and the joys of a wonderful marriage. I’m a parent and a step-parent and have experienced all of the hurts and triumphs that come with both roles. I’ve known successes and failures in many areas of life and I’ve learned a lot from both. I know how it is to feel bad and I know how it is to heal and be happy.

So you want some help, but how on earth do you go about finding the right therapist? Obviously you want someone who's well-trained and knows what they're doing. But more than that, you need to find someone who "gets" you. That's a vital part of how effective your therapy will be. You need to work with someone you trust and have confidence in. You also need someone who has confidence in you.

I'm trained to help people deal with an endless combination of difficult feelings, thoughts and behaviors.
