About
I have over 25 years of experience in Behavioral Health and 20+ working as a psychotherapist. I believe in traditional and non traditional approaches to therapy, dependent on my clients’ wants and needs.
I enjoy watching clients wake up in their lives to own their own power to change from within, to have clarity rather than confusion, to understand and resolve trauma and pain from the past that informs their decisions today.
Change is stressful, wanted or unwanted. Transitions in life sometimes warrant support. You can feel better. You can think and feel differently.
"Know all the theories. Master all the techniques. But as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul."
— Carl Jung
