Leaning towards direct, my style is to resolve anxiety, depression, and quiet conflict in the mind; we make substantive changes in therapy to finally create a sense of mastery over your problems. I strive to understand, support when necessary, and help clients live their potential. While sometimes challenging and typically a thorough process, our work can be life-changing.

Common reports from my clients include a sense of confidence, clarity, and lasting resolution to problems. They often describe therapy as powerfully enlightening and robust while also being respectful and professional.
