Professional Statement

Thank you for having the courage to seek out support. Recognizing that something in your life needs to change is not easy. You may have some ambivalence about beginning therapy but I encourage you to continue to invest in yourself and your own happiness. I would welcome the opportunity to help you in your journey for personal growth and happiness. I work well with people who are struggling, but motivated, to make changes in their life. I provide a warm, caring and supportive environment in which to explore challenges and obstacles and work toward overcoming them. Please reach out.

I focus on issues related to mood such as depression, anxiety, stress and anger. In addition, I help people improve personal interactions and career goals. I also specialize in working with people who have not been successful with therapy in the past and have been unable to achieve lasting success.

I focus on short-term, solution-focused therapy with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral treatment. Usually, our thoughts contribute to our negative feelings and impact of behaviors. Gaining insight into our thoughts and experiences leads to a change in both feelings and actions and contributes to an increase in happiness.
