Trust is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. With trust, openness and honesty will follow. Then the healing journey can begin, along with growth and transformation. Your commitment to this process is vital. Shame, guilt, regrets, denial, fear, resentment, blame and repression are barriers that prevent so many of us from moving forward to a healthier life. Therapy often stirs up painful emotions and discomfort. It takes courage and requires an investment of yourself. I am here to listen, understand, relate, guide, provide feedback, ask questions, validate and hopefully walk with you in achieving your goals.

As a 65 year old practicing therapist with my own personal life challenges and professional experiences, empathy and emotional maturity come naturally. No matter what your struggles are, I am here to support you. The pandemic itself has negatively impacted our mental and physical health. Please contact me. The first step can be intimidating but once you begin the walk it will lead to positive change, and you will not look back. Treatment modalities are tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual so that self awareness, insight and transparency are brought forth. I appreciate and welcome all new clients to my practice. Thank you.
