About My Clients

My clients are anxious, depressed and highly intelligent individuals who need help managing their emotional conflicts and learn to cope with life's difficulties in a positive way.

My Background and Approach

I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient treatment, schools and hospice work. I have 30+ Years experience with psychotherapy and am committed to working with individuals. I conduct psychotherapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and will shortly be certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills. I feel passionate about my work and I’m committed to working with adolescents and adults.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I think the reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors. I grew up in a family who was highly anxious and through my own therapy and growth I've learned to manage it with tools provided to me.
