Great to meet you!

I have worked in this field for many years with a wide variety of clients. I love connecting with the people I meet with and fully enjoy assisting them in finding ways to be their most fulfilled.

My approach to therapy

I tailor my support for clients on agreed upon goals as well as theoretical input that fits with their unique needs. I am open minded, empathic, authentic, funny, direct and will offer the client what they need - a softer and more gentle approach or a more challenging one (if that is what the client wants from therapy). I frequently work with clients on relationships issues, parenting challenges, and dissatisfaction with daily mood or functioning in their lives.

What you can expect from me

I usually begin therapy by mapping out goals that the client is seeking to achieve. As we develop our relationship in therapy, I am encouraging, supportive, and inquisitive, asking meaningful questions to help clients dig deeper into underlying issues that may be contributing to their challenges.
