My Approach to Helping

Thank you for taking the time to seek out assistance for your distress.

Therapy is an invigorating, challenging, and illuminating journey in which you have the chance to learn more about yourself, heal old wounds, as well as improve on important relationships. My firm belief is that change doesn't need to take forever; I will help you find the insight and awareness you need to move forward in your life. You will achieve a dramatically higher quality of life in the utmost caring and non-judgmental environment through discovering your inner strengths and effective coping skills.

More Info About My Practice

Choosing a right therapist is important. I assume an active role throughout the therapeutic process, yet the session is not about me ... it's your time. I believe that direct feedback is an essential part of the journey and when appropriate, I provide answers to questions as they are presented.

If you're not sure exactly what you need, or you want to talk more about how we might work together, I offer all new clients a FREE consultation.

I provide flexible appointment times and sliding scale to fit your lifestyle.

Contact me today and we'll get started.
