I see currently, and in the past, many different kinds of folks. Love working w/ adolescents, those with anxiety, depression and addictions. I see couples as well.
I am a dedicated therapist who keeps the patients best interest in mind. I strive for the connection, a working relationship, and I care a great deal for their well being. I am a warm and outgoing person, and have helped many people with their own psychological growth.
I am extremely comfortable with my on line work. I also supervise other therapists and do consultation.
It is my pleasure to work with you on line or in person. Please feel free to call or write to set up an appointment.
