Being human is difficult in our social media-driven world. There are more and more expectations placed on us to perform and be “super-human” in all areas of our lives.

I specialize in integrative individual and couples therapy for the mind and body. My perspective on therapy starts with the central belief that if you listen to your clients, they will always tell you what's going on. While that may seem very basic, unfortunately, there is very little listening going on these days. When we are listened to and are unconditionally respected and accepted, we instinctively have the right stuff inside of us to figure out our issues. That is how we grow. Helping you find that inner strength and resolve is what makes me uniquely qualified to help. With weekend and evening hours available call today!
