I enjoy working with all types of people, but I find the clients I am most successful with are those who are willing to look beneath the surface of the issue that brought them to me. So often the "problems" we experience are connected to so many different situations or experiences in our lives, that it can be difficult to determine how best to handle them. I truly enjoy assisting others in this process and find that most people have exactly the solutions and resources they need to successfully manage their lives, but that they sometimes need help finding them.

Each person is wonderfully unique, as are the issues that bring them to therapy. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of my clients, utilizing a variety of techniques and approaches to assist people in effecting change in their lives.

I fully understand that exploring the world of emotions can be intimidating. I provide clients with the warmth, sincerity and compassion that are essential in this endeavor. Your level of comfort is very important to me; I consider therapy to be a collaborative effort between myself and my client.
