Great to meet you!

I have more than 20 years' experience in dealing with clients with anxiety, depression, mood dis, Psychosis, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, grief, family and relationship issues, and other mental health issues.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use pharmacotherapy; and elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and supportive therapy as needed.

What you can expect from our first session
