            				Do you feel stuck or tired of the same issues and being unable to move past them? My goal - to help create a positive, practical, and lasting change. Together, we work toward learning and practicing coping skills, improving communication, and developing a keener awareness and understanding of yourself and others. It's a collaborative process for setting goals and evaluating progress as we go along. I dedicate myself to understanding, guiding, and supporting you to achieve your goals and enjoy your life.
I have a warm and respectful manner, and center therapy upon my intuitive connection with my clients. I invite you to call me for an appointment. I offer an initial phone consultation without charge, so we can decide together if I can be of help to you.
Home visits are available (certain restrictions apply), please feel free to call me if you have questions. Office hours vary - morning, afternoon and evening appointments available.
