GOT THERAPY?

This is a website I made over a decade ago for my private practice. It's been dormant for years as I've been busy with family obligations and working a full time job in college counseling.

I've recently decided to start seeing clients in private practice again, so it's time to dust this off and maybe give it a new coat of paint.

I'll update this more in the near future, but for right now, consider it a temporary holding space for anyone interested in therapy with me.

Okay. Finally got around to updating my photo. To the right is my latest glamour shot, taken in August 2026.

Below is my glamour shot circa 2018, courtesy of the talented Lydia Daniller. This is what I looked like when I first made this site.

More hair. Less gray. 

My practice was focused on recovering from break-ups, relationship stress, and assertiveness skills at the time. I wrote some blogs I wrote back then on these topics. which are still housed here for archival purpose.

I hope to start using my professional social media accounts more, so keep an eye out on Instagram, Facebook, and maybe even Substack soon(ish).
