“Using focused and often short-term therapy, I work to create a safe, challenging, and hopefully, fun environment in which change can occur. From coping with stress to managing mental illness, or negotiating and healing relationships, therapy can help you and your family. There are solutions to many of life’s problems and together we can work to find the solutions you need. I look forward to helping you put a spark back into your life.”
