About Me

My approach to therapy is straight forward, solution focused and empathetic. I understand that life can throw you curves and living with change and uncertainty can lead you down an unfamiliar path. 2021 has been a year of change, adjustment, stress and hardship. If you are tired of working on your issues alone, now may be the time to seek out help. In fact, you are making a courageous first step. You may not know what to do to make your life better, you just know that you want things to change and you want to be happier and healthier. I can help you sort out what steps you need to take to identify and address your issues.


I view therapy as an active, engaging and collaborative process. People say that I am not like other therapists. "He worked hard to see me, hear me, understand my issues and accept me for who I am. He did not sit back and say uh-huh every few minutes. Together we found solutions to long standing problems."


Trusting relationships do matter and from the beginning of the therapy process. I work hard to provide a safe and caring place to talk. I typically spend the first session getting to know who you are, where you want to be, and what is standing in your way of getting unstuck. Call me today and discover if I am the right resource for you.
