Psychotherapist, Consultant, Speaker
My approach
My patients soon learn that our time together is a collaboration where we have meaningful conversations that include speaking hard truths and facing difficult life choices, all while finding strength and hope for necessary change. Joining with a therapist who is committed to helping you heal from trauma or make the changes you desire, you can find the right questions and answers needed to complete your work toward emotional wellness. While there are many "treatments" offered to help you, the most important part of my presence as someone's therapist is how I listen to what you have to say and collaborate with you on how best to meet your needs. Through meaningful psychotherapy you can find words to tell your story in ways that help you make sense of life. A therapist may have special training and knowledge, yet each patient holds the most important answers for improving the quality of their life. We will work together to help you find those answers.
Whether you need brief time to solve a specific problem or desire the deeper work that therapy is traditionally known for, you have found the right place to start. Through our work, we can make our time together important and impactful.
