Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Life is messy and confusing, rewarding and challenging! I know the complexities of being human and having relationships, and I have great respect for how we all try to figure out how to be in this world. I work with people to navigate a path through this murky life... to explore choices and accountability... to look at the meaning we make of what happens to us... to help alleviate suffering in a supportive environment without judgments.
