Great to meet you!

My clients tell me I am extremely non judgemental, empathic and very safe to talk to. I also work directly WITH you to set your desired goals and what you want from your therapy. One of my joys is to help my clients learn how to be their individual authentic selves complete with confidence, clarity and calm.

My approach to therapy

My approach to working with people is to be open minded and engage in deep listening. I want to create a safe space to build trust between us as that is key for the best dlient outcomes. The balanced use of humor, the ability to laugh at ourselves vs. judgement of ourselves is also so helpful in learning how to accept and love who we are (even when there are behavioral changes needed!)

What you can expect from me

Our first session will focus on what brought you here and why at this particular time. I will listen to your needs, feelings, and concerns. We will discuss goals and simply build some beginning trust and a good fit between us.
