OTHER PROFESSIONALS

I make it a priority to interact with other professionals in the field of counseling and psychology. Together we discuss current trends, techniques, and offer possible solutions towards helping our clients. These meetings have enabled me to learn first hand about my colleagues and their unique professional competencies and experiences. When the needs of clients are outside my areas of specialization, I am able to make referrals as necessary to assist clients in getting the help they need.

No one individual can be a specialist in all areas of mental health therapy. Because of my interests and personal experiences in the field, I specialize in helping clients overcome Panic Attacks, Anxiety Disorders, Agoraphobia, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anger Management - Certified Anger Resolution Therapist, Coping with Stress, Parenting Issues, Relationship Difficulties, Improving self-esteem and self-confidence, Recovery from losses - grief and healing, and Dealing with major life events and changes.
