Sometimes, things in life, happen that causes significant stress, sadness and anxiety. Your improvement is my only concern during sessions. I am passionate about your wellbeing and can offer a variety of techniques to help you. We will talk about your goals for therapy and decide what approach would work best for you. We will work together to identify the issues, ways to cope and finding solutions. During my twenty-five years of providing therapy I have learned that not one type of therapy suits everyone. My approach will be designed for your situation. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you.
