"Thanks for your guidance and wisdom! I plan on a full recovery because of the hard work you have helped me with." - M
For over 10 years I have had the honor and the privilege of being invited into the lives of courageous individuals pursuing changes to enhance their lives. They all have touched me deeply and uniquely. I would like to believe that I have learned as much through each of them as I have by my professional education.
I currently maintain a private practice in Holyoke, MA. I work with adults, adolescents and families using an individualized, eclectic approach tailored to each person's needs. I very much enjoy helping individuals achieve their dreams and live a life full of meaning and joy.
