I'll empower you to lead YOUR definition of a successful life. Whether you're a veteran, anxiety-filled parent, or deciding the future of your marriage, you don't have to face this difficult time alone. I have 20+ years of experience to offer, including working with those who have been reluctant to initiate therapy in the first place. I specialize in problem gambling, addictions, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, and men's issues. I bring a personal and professional understanding of blended family issues and the unique demands of biracial/bicultural issues.
