If you can change your thoughts, you can change your world. I believe that our day-to-day thoughts directly dictate our emotions and ultimately our decisions and actions. Whether it is childhood trauma, adult anxiety or postpartum depression, we can take captive every self-defeating thought and turn that negative narrative into a powerful and hopeful future. Regaining control over our thoughts and actions can provide such lasting peace and happiness. My focus is to thoroughly get to know my patients, by listening to and trying my best to understand their unique experiences, while working collaboratively toward agreed upon goals.
I am a licensed, masters level therapist with over 20 years of experience in the field of psychology. I have successfully worked with many different populations, including adults with substance abuse issues, individuals with developmental disabilities, children and adolescents with behavioral problems and women with a history of domestic violence.
I hope and strive to help each individual I work with better understand his or her needs, while working towards an improved self-concept and an overall better quality of life. I believe that life should be enjoyed and cherished, therefore, my ideal outcome from therapy is to help each person I see enjoy his/her life to the very fullest.
