What do you need to know about me? Well, I think when we meet you will find I am very easy to talk to, and very "down-to-earth." I know how hard it can be to come in and talk to a complete stranger about personal issues. But I think you will find that when you do, you'll find I can often help you to look at your matter in a new way.

I have a PhD in Clinical Counseling and Doctorate in Psychology and  few masters degree, one of which is a Master's degree in Social Work with a Clinical Concentration in Advanced Practice in Military Specialization.

I am EMDR certified. I provide support and practical feedback to help you effectively address the challenges you are facing in your life.

Much of my job is to ask you questions you may not have asked yourself, to help you think about yourself and your problems in a new way, so that you can get "unstuck."

Life often leaves us feeling stressed, depressed and or lost. Seeking therapy can be an important step in moving positively towards mental health stability and wholeness.
