​Welcome! Taking the step to pursue psychotherapy can be a bit daunting. Though you may be feeling overwhelmed to take on something new or unfamiliar, therapy can be an effective way of improving your well-being and happiness. The information on this website is intended to provide you with an introduction to me as a therapist and help make the process of entering therapy a bit easier.

People think about getting professional help at different times in their lives and for a variety of different reasons.  We may be motivated by

• Unhappiness or loneliness
  
• Emotions that are out-of-control
  
• Mourning or sudden loss
  
• Stress in our family or marriage, or at work or school
  
• Difficulty adjusting to a life change or transition
  
• Desire to change habits in our lives
  

I work with people to help them understand themselves and their situations, manage stress better, and make positive changes a reality.  I strive to provide a comfortable, confidential, and non-judgmental place for you to get the help you need. With the help of good therapy, you too can rise above stress, trauma, loss, ambivalence, troubling relationships and self defeating patterns to find joy and fulfillment.

​In addition to providing individual, couple's, and group counseling, I offer supervision to other mental health professionals.
