About
I have been treating patients for more than twenty five years. My area of specialization involves the treatment of loss, grief, trauma and the anxiety disorders that sometimes accompany these events. Traumatic events can bring a host of overwhelming emotions that people may not have the skills to cope with effectively. I endeavor to bring insight into the nature of trauma and introduce skills that help people to cope more effectively. Once this is accomplished, I work with people to help them find more balance and meaning in their lives.

Each person has their own history and their own difficulties, so this enables me to tailor a treatment approach that is unique to you.
