I have been a therapist for over 27 years and my passion to help people has not changed. Therapy is about not just listening to your client, but hearing what that person is saying, not just their actual words but what thoughts and feelings are behind the words.

But it is much more than a friendly conversation, as I offer my knowledge, expertise and acquired skills to help you solve your problems.

My approach to treatment is eclectic, allowing me to customize treatment for each client's unique needs and goals. My therapeutic style includes creativity, humor and support.

My strength base is client centered therapy. I believe that it is important that the client knows that they play an important role in their recovery.

I will help clients set goals that are realistic and achievable with treatment. I believe that a strong client/counselor relationship is the groundwork to the healing process. I will create a positive, no judgment and stress-free environment, where the client is able to share openly and expect the best treatment.

Therapy allows you to not only better yourself, situation or life but it allows you to cleanse your mind and stay mentally healthy.
