High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I have expertise in trauma, depression, anxiety, diversity, and relationships. You are the expert in your life — sometimes we can forget about that. My job is to help you identify the objects in your life that are getting in the way of you living your full potential. As a long-time clinician working in a high-energy emergency department and long time clinician, I understand how a significant event can alter your course. My job is to get you back to living as your most authentic self. I have worked with individuals and couples for over 20 years and look forward to working with you. We got this!
