Have you been feeling depressed or anxious?

Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, we work together to understand what the causes are and develop practical tools and solutions that you can use for a lifetime.

I can help
Together we will collaborate on goals for your counseling. Clients have appreciated my ability to listen without judgement or without taking sides. They have described me as an "anchor" because I assist you in staying grounded on your journey to creating a life you want. They have also taken comfort in knowing that I am a "bulldog" in that I advocate for your well-being, help you find your strength when you are in a rough patch, and help you stay accountable to yourself in finding your happiness, whether you are a couple or an individual.
