Great to meet you!

I have worked with individuals and families since 1997. I have experience in adoption, family therapy, trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, parenting special needs children, assertiveness, problem sexual behavior, and teaching how to develop skills for effective communication.

My approach to therapy

I am objective and I focus on the goals that you want to address.

What you can expect from me

I appreciate how difficult it is to share your pain, guilt, and regrets with another person. It is likely that you have felt judged and may have been told that it's your fault that those things happened to you. If someone has caused you pain, that doesn't mean that it is your fault. You deserve to have your best life.
