Are sadness, frustration, insecurity, relationship struggles, stress or a painful past keeping you from happiness, success and satisfaction in your life? Are your own unhelpful thoughts, perspectives and behaviors? I can help. I have enjoyed helping people of various ages, ethic, spiritual, and economic backgrounds and diverse sexual/gender orientations/ presentations live peaceful, effective and successful lives. I hope to join you on your journey of exploration and healing. I even have convenient evening hours! I have a master's degree in Social Work and 12 years experience providing therapy. I have provided effective therapeutic interventions using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, child-centered and directive play therapy, and rational self-analysis with a strength-based and person-centered approach. I became a therapist because I have a heart for people who are hurting, and I wanted to offer the hope of relief and change. I believe that everyone has the power to heal and grow and I love being a part of that process. I am a great listener and I offer my knowledge, experience and compassion in partnership and service of a happier, more effective, you!
