Great to meet you!

I have been in practice for a long time and have served a variety of patients. I work part time as an aerobics instructor and believe strongly in a mind-body connection. I love working with children and family's and want everyone to live the best life they can.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is knowing that people know themselves best, and their input and needs guide the work. I will take the time to get to know a patient and decide the best treatment approach.

What you can expect from me

Clients can learn skills in sessions to be practiced and used in real settings. Clients can expect to feel heard, valued and supported in each session.
