Great to meet you!

I welcome those who want to expand their horizons and see their value and worth, despite someone elses opinion or the difficult circumstance they are facing.

My top 4 specialties are: 1) Couples Therapy, restoring trust and intimacy, (2) Addiction and Recovery, 3) Life Transitions and Loss, including divorce, betrayal, trauma, death of a loved one, retirement, weight loss, chronic illness, estrangement, lonliness, and how to cope and thrive with new beginnings, 4) LGBT+ community and gender varient clients.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to give time, attention and direction, so my clients can identify what they want to achieve and what they feel is in their best interest. I am direct, focused and insight oriented. I support positive change, to enhance ones sense of self and to find manageable and empowering solutions to life's challenges. I provide counseling to individuals, couples and families of varying age, gender, race and sexual orientations.

What you can expect from me

Together we will identify what the client hopes to achieve in therapy, where challenges exist and priortize desired goals for positive change.
