Great to meet you!

Welcome to my practice! Beginning with a therapist can be quite a project. If you have concerns or worries, please let me know. And I very much want to help you reach your therapy goals.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have tried other methods but find that clients benefit the most from Emotionally Focused Therapy, First we get to know each other to see if there is a good fit. If so, we begin to look for the negative cycle within yourself or between you and others that keeps you feeling upset, depressed or anxious. You learn to talk to yourself and to others in ways that are more positive and empowering..

What you can expect from our first session

You begin to learn new ways to be strong and courageous, ways you have probably dismissed or never even thought possible. After practicing them in session, you can apply them to other situations in your life.
