| Practice Description: |
 | Due to the Covid-19 virus, I am offering Face Time and phone sessions. I am finding that these sessions are working very well during this extremely stressful time. |
As an active and engaging psychotherapist, my practice is dedicated to the health and well being of my clients. I strive to assist my clients in creating positive changes within themselves mentally, emotionally and behaviorally.
With over 20 years experience in the mental health field I am committed to providing quality psychotherapy in a respectful and caring manner. My work in private practice, director of an adult out patient center and children's in patient psychiatric center have afforded me the opportunity to work with many different individuals presenting a wide variety of emotional situations.
My approach is an eclectic/multidimensional style with specific therapeutic interventions employed to meet the individual client needs. My areas of specialty include but are not limited to the treatment of depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship problems, school problems, pre and post gastric surgical counseling and the elimination of negative behaviors.
