About me
I have been in the behavioral health field for over 30 years in various roles. I have a doctorate in psychology. Additionally, I have assisted others in gaining recovery over their addictions and trauma . I specialize in depression, personality disorder, narcissistic abuse, women issues, attachment issues, anxiety, and grief.
My goals are to assist you in achieving contentment in your life by empowering you. I will assist you in exploring patterns of thinking and behaving; along with exploring solutions to your personal issues. My goals are for you to feel emotionally better, to feel safe and supported, to be educated, and challenged. We are a team!!!!
If something is said or suggested by me does not resonate with you, you are open to disagree stating why. I view this as a reciprocal relationship.
