Great to meet you!

With over 30 years of experience, I have worked with many different people struggling to get through daily stressors, or coping with life events such as a death in the family, divorce, interpersonal issues, etc. There is no one size that fits all when it comes to therapy, as each person experiences life changes and regular day-to-day stressors differently. If you are working towards making a change to gain insight, explore your behaviors, and/or improve your overall mental and emotional health, please do not hesitation to reach out.

My approach to therapy

As a therapist, I will draw from CBT, Trauma Theory, Addiction Therapy, Strengths Perspective Therapy, Couples and Family Therapy approach to help you. Therapy should be a place where you meet to talk through emotional, behavioral or psychological challenges. I offer an objective non-judgmental environment to do just that.

What you can expect from me

The first session will focus primarily on the presenting problem, the "why now" and we will formulate together what the plan will be to address the goals and tasks you want to accomplish. We will also spend some time gathering history related on past and present coping strategies, family and relationships.
