I am an LMFT with over 20 years of experience working with adults and children, couples, families, and small groups. My primary focus is to help you feel better about yourself or your current circumstances. I practice using an eclectic approach to meet you where you are and discover which modalities of therapy work best for you and your situation.

My treatment was handled perfectly. Once my sessions had reached their natural conclusion, both Debra and I felt that I was in a perfect place to handle my symptoms on my own. Since then, I've yet to experience any symptoms of anxiety.
