- LCPC
Welcome. I am a clinically licensed therapist of twenty years with varied professional work experience. I have worked with career challenges, anger management, bipolar disorder, major depression, life skills, self esteem, codependency, anxiety, and many more. I believe that you already have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you in life. It can be difficult to make changes in your life or look at a situation differently. It can take courage to seek out a happier life and I would like to be a part of that change with you.
