Philosophy/ Treatment Approach:

I believe that people are stronger and more capable than they give themselves credit for or realize.  I love helping people become aware of and optimize their many strengths.  My goal is to help people feel strong, empowered, and capable. My expertise is in helping people manage their Stress/Anxiety, which is what fuels their depression and anger.

I help a person to fill what I call a Positive Coping Skills Tool-Belt with skills that make life better and help bring your best self to each and every human interaction experienced. Possessing positive coping skills help to create a happier, more resilient person, even in the face of very difficult situations.
