As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I completed not only a master’s program in counseling, but also worked under the supervision of a licensed practitioner and passed a licensing board exam before beginning private practice. My services are different from a psychologist, in that I do not do psychological testing. My services are also different from a  psychiatrist (Actually an MD who specializes in the treatment of psychiatric disorders), in that I do not prescribe medications. I do however, often coordinate the care  that you might get from your doctors or other specialists, with the work that we will do together. I consider an important aspect of your care to be ensuring that you receive the education you need to make wise and appropriate decisions about how your treatment proceeds.   

 About me: I began my career working in a  hospital setting, where I specialized in work with adults and eating disorder clients. My next experiences were working on a psychiatric crisis team, and for the past 20 years I have been an individual, marital and child/ family counselor. I work with adults, couples, families, teens and children. I'm happy to schedule an initial consultation, I’d  love to talk to you!
