Introduction

Each person seeking counseling requires an individualized plan to address their unique needs. By making the unknown known, life can feel safe and predictable. I walk with clients on whatever path they're on, to explore any areas of need they may have. Let's talk and explore together. By using CBT, Psychoanalytic Theory and Motivational Interviewing, I work with those who're experiencing PTSD/Trauma, Grief, Infertility (men too) and Divorce. Though its not easy to process painful events, we'll begin in our first session to examine stresses in your life, to create a roadmap for treatment and success. Therapy is about the connection between a patient and clinician, which illuminates life complications. I'm here to help my clients take care of themselves, so that they can support those around them in healthy ways. Come and explore your mind and the ways it interprets the world.
