Great to meet you!

I believe that we all have strengths and areas we would like to improve. I have dedicated my practice to help individuals and couples use these strengths and develop new skills through insight into what has influenced them and led them to their life choices. With these new skills, awareness and understanding I believe we can develop the vision and discover the path to loving ourselves and creating the meaningful, satisfying, and joyful life we desire.

My approach to therapy

Within a safe and collaborative therapeutic environment, we together explore the issues and behaviors that are preventing you from creating the life you envision. I am committed to an individualized approach, within a warm and supportive environment, to help you meet your specific goals while offering proven skills and techniques that promote solutions. Together we will examine strengths, beliefs and behaviors to help you understand yourself and your relationships.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is the time to set initial goals, to assess and to guide our path to the outcomes you desire. Sessions are designed for you to feel at ease to explore while empowering you to make the necessary changes. Sessions allow for feeling hopeful as you work to be your best self and develop the effective skills and healthy beliefs and attitudes and relationships. If you are interested in my availability please reach out. I work daytimes Tuesday and Thursday.
