Great to meet you!

I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, and divorce struggles. I'm relaxed and easy to talk to and ask thought-provoking questions that helps you think through issues without being judgmental. Helping people is my passion and I enjoy seeing clients feel better. It's hard to know where to set boundaries, as 'helping' those we love can often hinder their growth. Do we let go or is that a cop-out? I can help you take small steps towards effective changes.

My approach to therapy

I have multiple specialties focusing on interpersonal relationships with individuals couples and families, and women issues. I also completed an externship in couples counseling emotionally focused therapy (EFT) that allows individuals communicate that they mean in effective ways that helps them build relationships and maintain healthy relationships. In addition to other effective techniques to meet client's needs, I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotional interviewing (MI).

What you can expect from me

Are you tired of your responses to situations and people? Learn to be proactive, gain control of your reactions, and decrease defenses such as anger, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and isolation. Don't continue to be driven by self-defeating beliefs or impulses and learn what "The truth will set you free" can mean for your life.
