Why you should choose me as your therapist

1. I have close to 20 years of experience working with persons who struggle with a variety of adjustment, mental health, self-esteem and addiction concerns.

​

2. I have specialized experience in addictions including nicotine dependence, the one addiction which is often the forgotten addiction, the ignored addiction and yet, often the hardest to quit.

​

3. I have a record of success with clients, having helped persons who even in the darkest part of an addiction have not only found their way out, but flourished.

​

4. I work with you on a personal basis as no single modality of therapy works for everyone.

​

5. I am a mama and understand the rigors of parenthood; I also understand the complexities of postpartum distress as I have both recovered from them myself and continue to engage in trainings supporting my efforts to help persons recover.

​

6. I am trained in therapeutic aspects of yoga, mindfulness and pranayama (yogic breathing strategies), but I will not force them upon you; if you want to try, you are welcome.

​

7. I am kind, understanding and compassionate while also firm, challenging and encouraging.

​

8. Should you be unable to visit my office, I am experienced with telephonic and telehealth counseling.
