Message to clients

My focus in treatment is to provide you with the lead modalities in helping you achieve your goals and be the most authentic ‘you.’ What people discover in therapy is a whole new life underneath the ‘symptoms’ and ‘labels’ that they have carried around, often for years. A therapeutic alliance is essential in therapy and therefore an initial phone consult is offered to make sure that this is the right fit for you.

I strive to make a thorough assessment for your individual needs and help you ‘dig deep’ into what the barriers that are holding you back from living your truest self. I specialize in trauma, anxiety and depressive disorders, family conflict and LGBTQ and relationship issues.
