Introduction
Welcome to my website. I have provided mental health services in a variety of settings that include: inpatient hospital units for children, adolescents and adults, group homes, schools, day treatment settings, and community mental health clinics. I am a licensed psychologist since 2005. I truly enjoy the work that I do and consider it a privilege to be with others in a therapeutic setting. I view therapy as a collaborative process where the client is an expert in their history and experiences and I am trained in understanding and interpreting relationships and mental health symptoms. Together we work to understand and explore the nature of stress in your life and develop ways to cope. It is my goal that clients feel that they are met with dignity and respect. Therapy is a process where one learns through hearing their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas in place of support and empathy.
