Welcome!

I'm happy you've taken the time to visit my home on the web. Whether you've come for information on self-harm, for more about my experience with serious athletes, or for information about how to set up an appointment with me in private practice, I hope my site will provide you with answers to your questions. Seeking help for an emotional issue is a difficult process, and I commend you for taking a big step.

As you've probably guessed, I have a couple different areas of expertise.  First, I have a special place in my heart for those who hurt themselves to feel better, a behavior called "self-harm" or "self-injury." Some of my practice is tailored to this specialty, and I work extensively with individuals, and sometimes their families, who struggle with such a misunderstood behavior. If this is why you've come, feel free to browse the site for guidance and information on how to contact me.

Second, I've got some personal experience with the world of serious athletics.  I am a former athlete myself, and have unique insight into the various demands and pressures of hardcore sports.  As most athletes know, mental toughness is half the battle, and I like to consider myself somewhat of an expert on the psychological side of practice and competition.  My clients who devote their lives to high-performance sports find therapy to be an invaluable tool for keeping them focused and energetic.

If you've come because you are looking for a therapist to help you with something other than self-harm or athletics, please know that my practice is not limited! Half of my clients seek therapy because they are dealing with other issues, such as depression, anxiety, work stress, financial pressure, divorce, relationship problems, or other past trauma. I am honored to work with them, and would be honored to speak with you about what I can offer. Please don't hesitate to call.

Thanks for stopping by.
