Recognizing your stuggles and deciding it's time to address them is one of the hardest things to do. Congratulations for taking that step.

I have been a licensed psychotherapist for over 23 years (a therapist for a total of over 50 years) and have helped many people overcome issues that hold them back from being their best self. Specifically I work with older clients who are struggling with life changes, including medical, emotional and relationship changes.

In addition I have supervised new and advanced therapists, clinical supervisors and provided trainings on a variety of mental health topics.

I am not wedded to one type of therapy and I tend to use the treatment that I feel meets the client's needs. We will dive into your relationships, thoughts and feelings to understand how they shape who you are today. Understanding these will make you more confident, stronger, and able to manage your mental health challenges.

During our first session we are getting to know each other. I am learning what brings you to therapy, what you would like to accomplish, and some of your history. Meanwhile you are learning what my beginning thoughts are of how we can work together and you can decide if you feel comfortable with me and if we are a good fit.
