My passion as a therapist is assisting people to find the best way for them to heal.
I strongly believe that therapy needs to be tailored to the person seeking healing.
That is why I chose the name “Many Pathways” for my practice. We will find the best route for you to reach your goals. I have had extensive training and experience in many techniques and approaches in my 30 years as a therapist.

Depression
Depression is more than normal ups and downs. Let’s heal what hurts. You don’t have to feel this bad. Symptoms of depression can inlcude: sadness, loss of pleasure in things that used to feel good, crying, feeling hopeless and helpless, body aches, weight gain or loss, sleeping too much or can’t sleep enough, feeling guilty, tired all the time, thinking about dying or being dead. Call for an appointment whether its with me or someone else.
Trauma
Bad things happen. If you are lucky and have enough support and resilience, you can get past it. But it doesn’t always work out that way. Trauma from a young age, repeated trauma or very severe trauma can be crippling. It can interfere with your ability to cope with life in a healthy way.
Take the first step and call.
