Great to meet you!

I draw strongly from decades of my own personal growth work. Psychology is not a theory for me. It is a daily practice, a way of life. I help people focus on what they can control, what is most important currently and how they can work through whatever they are facing.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have been doing counseling professionally for over 20 years and have seen my clients be able to make significant and consistent progress no matter how difficult the challenges are that they face. I offer support, compassion, valuable experience and a healthy relationship where a person can heal and grow.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients can expect to feel a greater sense of support, empowerment, value, and satisfaction in their life. They can expect to have improved relationships, a greater feeling of confidence, purpose and meaning about their work and personal life. They can expect to identify and achieve whatever is most important in life knowing that they have the a truly empathetic and effective therapist by their side.
