My style is collaborative, directive, constructive, compassionate, and warm.

You will leave each session with a good idea of how to manage your particular circumstances.

Blue Bullet BoxI have deep respect for the human condition and am comfortable with the pain, shame, or loss of purpose that life sometimes hands us.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first task will be to ensure we are a good fit, establish a relationship that honors who you are, and provide you with a trusted, non-judgmental place to explore how you got to a place of emotional pain. The first session is what is called an Intake appointment, where I will ask you about different areas of your life, the symptoms you are experiencing, and the goals you have for therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Therapy greatly aided my life as an adolescent. As a result of my positive experience, I became a therapist. I am passionate about this profession and want to help individuals, couples, and families achieve their goals and life satisfaction.
