Message to clients

My passion in life has been to help others through compassion, information and effective guidance. I have a history of successfully helping clients create a path forward with a focus on strengths, self understanding, and solutions. Life's problems are an opportunity to grow. By choosing to face adversity you build resilience, emotional strength, confidence and self worth. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. I offer a free phone consultation of up to 15 minutes to allow you to explore how and if I can be helpful. Your story is important and you are worth my time.
