Practice Information

Deciding to enter therapy can be one of the most important and difficult decisions a person can make. It may become overwhelming just choosing a therapist. I understand and appreciate this struggle. Having helped individuals for over 20 years, I understand the need for a safe, respectful, and supportive environment. I work in a holistic way, to help acheive your best "SELF", connecting mind, body and emotions. I work with each individual differently based on their needs. I help provide focus, decrease chaos and move in a healthy life direction. Because I have been in practice for many years, I have numerous "tools"" to offer. "Therapy is a partnership where we work together so you can reach your goals. " I treat Adults, Couples, Adolescents. Over the years I have come to develop specialties in Anxiety, Addictions(including internet, sexual addictions), Trauma, Incest recovery and Simple Phobias. I'm gay friendly and have experience helping with issues around 'coming out', couple issues, etc.
