Great to meet you!

I love to be a cheerleader for my clients, a pillar of their support system. Sometimes, this means I may have to call you on some stuff, but it's always coming from a place of support and values-alignment!

My approach to therapy

Freud got some of it right-

I work to fill in the blanks.

I'm a firm believer we're all a product of where we come from, for better or worse.

Exploring that blueprint creates a framework of understanding that can empower change.

What you can expect from me

Easy-going, direct, friendly. I aske open-ended questions to assess your counseling needs and describe my counseling approach. I set expectations for therapy with me will look and sound like.
