Background

Welcome
If someone in your life is stressing you out, feel free to call me. I will listen to you carefully in order to understand as much as possible about what you are going through. I will ask questions when needed and give sensitive feedback to you in a timely manner.

I have over 25 years of experience and I love my work.

Some of my specialties include anxiety, depression, infidelity, substance abuse and codependency.

Feel free to contact me today for a free, 15 minute consultation to see if we might work well together.
Additional thoughts
Therapy is a gift you give yourself. You may feel more confident, more in control of your life, and may experience improvement in the quality of your relationships with friends, loved ones and in your career.
