Great to meet you!

Our stories are all unique, making life extremely interesting and at times heartbreaking. Over 20 years of providing therapy, I have found what we share, what makes us alike are our feelings. Our humanity. And the closer we get to honestly sharing, the healthier we are. The more acceptance we have for ourselves And those around us the healthier and happier we are. I try to create an environment of openness and nonjudgment so we can get down to the business of Healing

My approach to therapy

My approach is a combination of my training in addiction, understanding triggers for use of substances but also for anxiety, depression, anger as well. We identify the issues-where they originated what coping skills you have been using and what is needed now. Seems simple. Wish it were but we humans don’t change our ways easily and that’s ok.

What you can expect from me

Change should come with clarity and willingness. Going to Therapy can be life-changing. To feel freer from negativity, obsession and embrace a healthier outlook on life, is possible. Alone, you are the only expert providing information. I can provide reflection, compassion and expertise to guide in this process
