I believe that the therapeutic process is a valuable vehicle for positive change in a client's life. I help children, adolescents and adults find relief from depression, anxiety, and anger and develop coping skills to deal with the many stressors that life presents.

Depression causes hopelessness. Anxiety affects work, family, relationships, enjoyment of life's simple pleasures. Exposure to trauma can cause a multitude of symptoms. If you are facing any of these stressors, if you are a survivor of/or witness to trauma, treatment can help. Through cognitive therapy, my clients have learned to overcome depression, anxiety, PTSD. I also treat individuals court mandated for treatment through Children and Youth Services, probation and parole, etc. Additionally I work with adolescents dealing with behavior concerns, referred by schools/families. Family/couples counseling is also available, as well as treatment for psychosis.
