I personally have found freedom through change and I want others to know what that is like. I became a therapist because I believe in the power of therapy to help people take control over their lives and cope with unpleasant life events. I have the best job in the world. I get to connect with people and watch them emerge from their cocoons and transform into beautiful, unique butterflies.
My approach to therapy centers around discovering and embracing your authentic self. My goal is to help you understand yourself and others better in order to be able to move past difficult feelings. As a therapist, I feel that my best work is done when I am challenging my clients to take an active role in living their best life. I am not your average head nod, warm and fuzzy therapist; my clients value my honesty and non-judgmental acceptance of even their darkest of places.
Effective therapy must begin with increasing awareness of how an individual's experiences, knowledge, beliefs, personality characteristics, expectations, influences, and past traumas have played a role in their development. When we are confronted with the hard truth that our past has led us to thinking and behaving in ways that no longer serve us, we can begin the process of change. My hope is that clients leave session with a different perspective and a brighter outlook on their future.
