Hello and welcome, Have you wondered where the person you were has gone because of the anxiety and stress of a busy life, relationship issues, grief, stage of life issues, career challenges, etc? It takes self-awareness and courage to identify barriers to the life you want and to make the decision to work toward making those changes. I’m pleased to partner with you on this journey. I love to help clients put their challenges/concerns in the context of their current life and to help them achieve a vision of what they want their life to become.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session with my clients is devoted to introductions, discussion about the presenting issues and collaboration on development of a treatment plan.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths as a therapist are that I listen to what people are not telling me, as well as what they are not telling me. I strive to help clients identify thoughts, feelings, experiences, and people who are part of the presenting problem and to help them resolve the issue. I am patient and treat clients with kindness, respect and empathy.
