I love doing therapy and totally believe in its ability to help people! I have seen it happen repeatedly over the last 20+ years. There are so many clients who tell me their lives are changed and they will never forget the experience and the things learned. They also tell me they will never forget our journey in therapy together. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is a major part of what makes therapy effective. I previously taught college psychology and I consistently emphasized to future therapists my favorite quote from the textbook, "It is the relationship that heals." Along with the relationship I use theories and techniques that are research-proven to be effective. I continue to learn new and diverse techniques as I continue on my journey as a therapist.
