Therapist

Welcome!

My goal is to help you feel better so you can live a happier, more fulfilling life. Due to everybody’s uniqueness, I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual, couple or family I work with. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities to identify strengths that best support you and your growth in a non-judgmental atmosphere.
