As a psychotherapist, my approach with clients is very down to earth. Not all clients and problems are the same which is why I tend to be a bit more eclectic in style.

Through the course of therapy, I have one objective: to reach your goals together.

“Thanks for listening, for not judging.” When I hear that, I know we’re on the right track. Why? That’s why I’m here, to listen and learn with you, not to judge. By listening together, we are able to look into and understand the ways we think when we’re challenged, stressed, or hurting. We explore how our thinking might be helping us or getting in our way. Working together we can find a new perspective or explore a new set of coping skills that can lead to hope, healing, and a new start on life. We start with your concerns, your goals, and we grow in understanding and in developing helpful tools for the challenges and joys of life.
