About My Clients

Are you feeling overwhelmed with what's going on in the world? After taking care of everyone else and everything else, do you have enough resiliency left for you? I analyze issues in daily functioning and try to improve those. I have insight into many populations including teachers, educators, parents and those going through relationship issues. I tend to specialize in helping people with relationship issues such as dating, communication issues, divorce, and break ups.

My Background and Approach

I am an excellent listener and tend to do a lot of problem solving with clients to make things better as fast as possible. For anxiety, depression, self esteem and other emotionally based issues, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in helping people. I also believe in practicing what I preach. I do not recommend things to clients that I haven't tried myself and found to be successful. I take my own stress management seriously and I exercise regularly. I meditate and I take supplements that are helpful. I am intentional with what I eat.
