About Me

People that come to my practice are experiencing some very difficult symptoms -- depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance. I have an expertise in terms of developing coping skills. And their expertise is in their symptoms and what they’re experiencing. I want to collaborate with them. That’s the most important thing -- that we’re working together.
