I’m a compassionate, respectful, and effective therapist. For over 20 years, I’ve helped people improve their mental health and relationships. I also have extensive experience with issues of aging, grief and loss. My approach is solution-focused, stressing your strengths and values and how they can be used to overcome your problems.
I’d love to help you improve your mood, have greater self-confidence, and have more peace of mind. As your counselor, I’d be honored to help you create richer relationships and an overall more rewarding life. Contact me for a 15-minute no-charge conversation. You can tell me your concerns, and we’ll determine if we’re a good fit to work together.
