Great to meet you!

I am a retired Army social worker and love that I have had the ability to work with Soldiers throughout a multitude of issues and specialize a lot with Trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I've always had a desire to help people and learn how the mind works to alleviate our own distresses, have empowerment over our problems and to find peace in our oftentimes chaotic minds. I not only feel this is a job but it is a calling and look forward to meeting you.

My approach to therapy

No one in life is perfect, including me! Being able to identify, relate and empathize with you as my patient is probably one of my greatest strengths. The special relationship formed between you and I, ensuring trust, confidence, and ability to truly work through the issues are of utmost importance. I wish for you to find the inner peace and strength that I know everyone has within them and to be able to achieve and live the life that makes you feel truly alive!

What you can expect from me

I believe through our sessions that you will be able to find solutions and tools, a sense of answers, comfort and hope for the future. Long term I see that patients have found a greater sense of self and ability to maintain their growth and steer clear of their past negative thoughts, behaviors and patterns.
