I have been in the field of mental health for 17 years. I believe psychotherapy and coaching are venues to help people live better lives, experience more satisfaction in their relationships and career. My goal is to help you to reach your goals and to achieve success. I utilize a variety of short term treatment approaches and I offer up to a 30 minute free initial phone consultation for us to get to know each other and to see if we are a good match.
