Great to meet you!

Hi and welcome to beginning the journey back to you! With over 10 years of clinical experience working with diverse populations-- from at risk youth with limited resources to young adults transiting into adulthood, to adult men rehabilitating from prison to elderly individuals struggling with end of life issues--I'd like to join clients on their journey by providing support and guidance one seeks in therapy.

My approach to therapy

I utilize an array of treatment modalities when working with my clients, but my most basic tool is focusing on building a human connection. I consider my treatment approach to be direct but compassionate to aide my clients in leading the life they define for themselves.

What you can expect from me

My hope is to provide you with the realistic tools, insight and perspective to know that even when you FEEL there is nothing but darkness, loneliness and hopelessness, you possess the power to strive for, overcome and maintain serenity through it all.
