about
My Practice
I am happy that you have come to me for your behavioral health concerns. I want to congratulate you on taking the first step to improving your life. First, you have acknowledged that there is a problem; and, second, you are taking action to try and resolve the issue. Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.
As a therapist, it is my goal to help you uncover behavioral patterns or negative thoughts that hinder you from having the relationship or life that you want. The difficult things that have happened in the past can’t be changed, but we can work to understand and resolve the stumbling blocks in your life.
