I am pleased to announce the opening of my private practice. I view therapy as a team approach to helping people identify what their issues are,how they got them and how they can empower themselves to face their fears and move on to a happier/peaceful/enriching life. Its much easier to work on ourselves if we have the guidance and support-someone on our team -to help us overcome our stressors and improve our self-confidence. I want to help empower people to believe in themselves because once we like ourselves we can do many things that we never could before. Currently I am limiting my practice to working with adults. I have worked in community mental health for over 30 years so I have been exposed to all different types of people,illnesses, and situations. I use various types of techniques to help people. I am eclectic in that I don’t try to fit people into theories or techniques-I try to find what techniques will best help each person because we are all unique. I am very empathic and patient with people. I am very good at establishing mutually empathic relationships with people which makes them feel comfortable and understood so they can open up and begin to heal. I dont push people-people will make progress in there time but I will encourage you to face your fears so you can self-actualize,and be the best you!
