Individual Counseling
One-on-one therapy explores the psychological impact of your personal history, current circumstances, and future plans. In 30 years as a clinician, I've learned that no issue is too large or too small to be addressed in an analytical, empathetic,
pragmatic way.
Couples counseling, if indicated, may also be used as a therapeutic tool.

Seniors & Aging
Senior citizens often have a unique set of challenges, and counseling for age related concerns can help.

Depression & Anxiety
Anxiety and depression are complex conditions that are often co-occurrent and frequently cyclical. Chronic worry can lead to emotional burnout and depression, especially if underlying issues are left unresolved. Clinically-proven modalities, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), can interrupt the cycle and restore quality of life.

At a time when many people feel increasingly disconnected, group therapy offers therapeutic fellowship in a confidential, non-judgmental environment.
Groups are forming now.
