The road of life can be unpredictable. Sometimes it takes you exactly where you want to go. Sometimes you encounter detours and accidents. As a licensed therapist for over 25 years I’ve treated just about everything. Now I have the freedom to focus on the areas I’m really good at and the ones I really enjoy: anxiety, depression and change of life issues.
Additionally I’ve always loved teaching parenting skills and now with 2 adult children established and our relationships on firm footing I do so with credibility not just theory.
Every decade in life can be wonderful and difficult all at the same time.
I look forward to helping you find your inner strength and perhaps learn some new useful life skills. It takes courage to begin but you’ve got this!
