A Journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Lau Tzu

Are you ready to make positive changes in your life?

The safe, nurturing and protected environment of the therapy relationship is a resource to help people along the path to positive change and peacefulness.

As you begin to know yourself better, you begin to view life with less confusion and distraction. You begin to focus more on the tasks at hand, and challenge the deeply held assumptions that may be holding you back. With this understanding comes the ability to better cope with stresses and challenges, and the vision to see a better, brighter future for yourself. These are the primary goals of psychotherapy, a proven way to a better life for millions.

I want you to know that you are not alone on your journey toward a more fulfilling life. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, my hope is to walk with you on your journey.

With more than 20 years of experience in the field, I build relationships with children, adolescents and adults coping with anxiety, depression, mood lability, and other forms of emotional pain. I use many techniques in my work, including (but not limited to) insight oriented therapy, cognitive behavioral treatment, hypnotherapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
