Making the decision to seek help can be difficult and choosing the right therapist can often be overwhelming. I offer a confidential and no-cost consultation where you can get all of your questions answered. Contact me by either phone or email to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you.
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, families, adolescents and young adults from a strength-based, goal oriented approach that recognizes the importance physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellness play in maintaining balance in one’s life and relationships.

Bio
What Is Therapy?
Therapy involves talking with a trained professional about conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to relationship conflicts and career frustrations. Therapy provides ways to express feelings, understand patterns of thinking, gain perspective on past events and current relationships, set goals, and clarify dreams for the future. Therapy can both alleviate pain and suffering and add meaning and richness to life. Therapists employ a range of techniques and methods, some suited to particular mental health issues and some that can be applied to clients dealing with a variety of issues. Therapists act as a confidential and careful listener.
How Can Therapy Help Me?
Therapy can help you understand and reframe your problems and concerns. It can teach you specific emotional and social skills, and can help you reap more satisfaction from your work and your relationships. A therapist's office can be a sanctuary where you are free to express private thoughts and struggles. Friends and family members can provide excellent emotional support, but a therapist can give you a trained, and more impartial, perspective on your life.
