-------- Psychotherapist
Note: I am not accepting new clients at this time.
Welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to learn about my practice and how we might work together.
Whether this is the first time you've been in therapy, or you want to return to do more work on whatever issue concerns you, my goal is to help you get started.
Picking a therapist is a very personal choice. It takes courage to reach out to a therapist for support. I believe it's important to create a safe space where you can feel understood and guided to make lasting and significant change in your life.

Services
1. Individual therapy with adults18 years and older.
2. While in therapy, if appropriate, an evaluation to jointly decide whether it might be worthwhile to consider a referral to a qualified Nurse Practitioner or Psychiatrist for medication as one aspect of your overall treatment.
----- Individual therapy
I believe individual therapy is so much more than going over and over the story of your life, or trying to find someone to "blame." Although I think your life story up to this point is very important, I am also interested in ways we can work together to get "unstuck" from patterns, habits, and ways of thinking that keep you from moving forward and discovering (and living) your full potential.
----- Medication Referral
In working with clients, I do not automatically think being evaluated for medication is appropriate in all cases. In situations where depression and/or anxiety are so overwhelming that it becomes a burden and barrier to effectively using individual therapy, I may ask if we can talk about the pros and cons of a referral.
Note: I am not accepting new clients at this time.
For new clients, please call, email, or use the contact form below, to inquire about services and to see if there are openings that are mutually convenient for both of us. If you're interested in scheduling an appointment, I can send you the necessary registration forms.
Look forward to hearing from you.
