I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on issues regarding anxiety. Many people have asked me over the years why I chose psychotherapy as a profession and anxiety management as my specialty. Sometimes they want to know what makes me effective. These are serious questions that deserve thoughtful answers. When you come to me because your anxiety has become detrimental to your life, you need to know that I seek to understand you, and to walk in your shoes. After all, if I don't have an intuitive sense of the person you are, where you're coming from and where you hope to go, how can you trust me to take you there? Your goals are my goals and we'll work together to achieve them.
