Great to meet you!

I have 25 years plus of experience and pride myself on the diversity of my client base. Although I have specialized in PTSD, trauma, grief, life transitions what we work on can be in other areas.I enjoy and feel it is a privilege and honor for you to share your story and its challenges with me. My private client rates are based on a sliding scale from 80-160 depending on what they can afford. You choose what you can afford I don’t get into your finances.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I try to design and use various techniques depending on what works for you. From EMDR, Reality Therapy,Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness etc. it depends on what works for you. We will work on you being able to quiet the mind and find peace.

What you can expect from our first session

Listening is an art form.Over the years I have learned to get to the core issues quickly and ask the right questions to assist you.You will know in the first session whether we are good match.I am like a empathic black board that you can write on but talks back and at times will challenge you. Reminder that I see clients virtually/ phone only in Florida since I now reside in the Asheville area of North Carolina.
