Practice Description:

I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds, whether you are dealing with difficult relationships, problems communicating, disturbing or debilitating symptoms, unmanageable emotions or behaviors, confusion, identity issues, unresolved grief, or feeling stuck. 
 
Many of life's problems that seem overwhelming can become manageable, given an opportunity to learn skills which empower you to access your own abilities and gifts.

 

As a therapist, I offer a safe place where your strengths are recognized and utilized to move past barriers that are limiting functioning and demoralizing self esteem, to open up natural healing resources from within.
