My aim to to ensure that each and every session be approach with comfort, finding solutions and getting you to feel better with whatever associated problem you are experiencing. It may be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. We can work together to find a solution to getting you to feel better!
In our first session together, I will take the time to hear you out and see what the problem is, and we will develop a plan of action to start to attack that problem. It is normal to be nervous at first, I get it. Even though I have been doing this for over 20 years, even I may get a little nervous at times.

I am empathetic, motivated, creative and think outside of the box. I strive to work with you and see you achieve. I am responsive and willing to do what it takes to get you feeling better. We are a team and it is important to establish a therapeutic alliance.
