About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist who works with individuals and couples of all ages. I have extra training with couples and individuals who experience relationship issues that may or may not include formal diagnosis of a psychological nature. I help couples and individuals who experience difficulties with personality issues of narcissism and borderline characteristics.
I work with those who are having difficulty or trouble in relationships or relating to a difficult person. You will find me easy to talk with as together we find solutions for the challenges. I will encourage you as I walk beside you to systematically discover the answers that you already have within. I will not force but gently challenge you to become your best. This journey of counseling will have a beginning and end. We will be a team every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you. Let’s get started. You will find the help you are seeking.
