In private practice for 32 years. I am interested in assisting you with your emotional growth and well-being. It's normal at times in life to have conflicts, but sometimes we need guidance to discover healthier ways to navigate through these challenges to have a more healthy and rewarding life!
When life's challenges appear too daunting to handle alone, when you feel as though you have lost yourself, struggle to see the point, and feel overwhelmed it's ok to ask for some help. My mission is to walk with you in navigating the terrain of your thoughts, emotions, memories and behaviors , to harness these mechanisms and connect you with the inherent strength within you so you can live your life fully.
Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Our practice style is goal oriented using numerous approaches.
