My Approach to Helping
Thank you for taking the time to seek out assistance for your distress. I understand how difficult it can be to suffer and struggle through a situation. You can feel hopeless and helpless at times.

Therapy is an invigorating, challenging, and illuminating journey in which you have the chance to learn more about yourself, heal old wounds, as well as improve on important relationships. My firm belief is that change doesn't need to take forever; I will help you find the insight and awareness you need to move forward in your life. You will achieve a dramatically higher quality of life in the utmost caring and non-judgmental environment through discovering your inner strengths and effective coping skills.

 

More Info About My Practice
Choosing a therapist you connect with is the most important decision in your road to change. I assume an active role throughout the therapeutic process, yet the session is not about me ... it's your time. I believe that direct feedback is an essential part of the journey and when appropriate, I provide answers to questions as they are presented. Becoming a therapist felt natural for me, I wanted to help people get unstuck and live life with joy and pleasure.

If you're not sure exactly what you need, or you want to talk more about how we might work together, I offer all new clients a FREE 30 minute therapy session. Please provide phone number you prefer to be contacted on in your correspondence.

I provide flexible appointment times and sliding scale to fit your lifestyle.

Every Monday at noon I offer free support group sessions at my office for women in transition.
Contact me today and we'll get started.
