Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have been practicing therapy for 19+ years, with 15+ years in private practice. I treat adults, specializing in relationships, trauma, stress, workplace conflict, anxiety, sexual abuse/assault, family dynamics, divorce, life changes, & personal crises.

FYI: I require communication via email. I have more availability than what is listed on Headway's calendar, so please email me directly for my availability: [email protected]

My approach to therapy

I have a direct approach to therapy. I'm active in session, and I believe I am easy to talk to. I have a humorous and sarcastic side. I'm client-centered and I believe each client should be given treatment based on their presenting issues and background. I take the time to get to know clients so I know best how to serve them. I incorporate different treatment modalities but my main focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

What you can expect from me

After the first session, clients should expect to feel a sense of direction and some relief if I am the right fit for their needs. I'm all about energy, so I make an effort to create a space that is comfortable for all clients.
