I
enjoy working with individuals, couples, and
families in all stages of life. Areas addressed may
include depression, anxiety, effective
communication, and increasing overall life
satisfaction. I
believe the relationship between the therapist and
the patient is the most important factor in
obtaining a successful therapeutic outcome and
improving mental health. Providing a safe,
comfortable and non-judgmental environment is a key
component of effective therapy. I employ a variety
of methods and techniques that can be utilized based
on the treatment goals, values, personality, and
needs of each individual. I value and hope to
empower every individual to make a positive impact
in both our immediate environment and our collective
world. I am a careful and confidential listener and
understand that every person is a unique individual
with common problems deserving of dignity,
compassion and respect. My goal is to help people
create harmony and balance in their lives resulting
in greater happiness. In
addition to my private practice I offer pro bono
services through the Mental Health Alliance of
America.
