I decided to become a therapist because when I was in the military, I frequently saw women soldiers experience many forms of emotional, verbal and sexual abuse and there was little or no help for them. Frequently, they provided support for each other and often they would come to me, to talk and/or for comfort, therefore I decided that I wanted to help others heal from emotional pain. Therefore, upon my discharge from the military, I used my GI Bill to begin my educational preparation to become a therapist.

I work best with women, men with depression or work related issues, African Americans, Italian and Irish Americans, working class persons of any ethnicity.

I am most excited to work with clients who are highly motivated to make positive changes in their lives and are willing to learn to necessary skills to do so.

I wish all clients knew that they are valuable and worthy to receive help.

I am very excited to work for a company that was created by a therapist for therapists.

I am inspired by helping others attain and maintain emotional wellness.

They can expect that I will provide a safe and compassionate environment in which they can express and explore their issues.

The first session I would like to engage the client and establish trust in my abilities as a therapist.

I want clients to know that I am a safe, compassionate and highly skilled therapist.

Travel, listen to music, socialize with friends & family, attend concerts and read.

I love people and have a voracious appetite for learning.

I have been working with one client since who is highly intelligent, but has low self esteem and anxiety issues. I worked with her throughout her junior and senior year of high school. She graduated with honors. I am very proud of her and enjoy working with her.
