Finding my Way
...the first step.

Making an initial appointment to meet with a psychotherapist or counselor is a big step. It is a critical step. This step means that you’ve identified an area in your life where you want help and support from an experienced professional. You may need assistance to deal with grief and loss, difficult life changes, troubled relationships or emotional concerns.

The next step is to find the right person to help you address your concerns and make changes in your life. An accepting and trusting partnership will allow you to restore hope and create change. I’m committed to partner with you. I bring 25 years of clinical skill, experience and wisdom to this partnership. Together we will create a safe space to develop peace and balance in your life.
