Great to meet you!

With 20 years of clinical experience, I understand how to establish strong relationships with those who are strugglig with life's challenges, as am I. I am an exceptional listener, mentor and guide. My practice is patient-centered : I am trained in a number of treatment modlities, but they can only be effective if an honest, trusting relationship is forged between me and my patient.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is non-judgmental and eclectic, drawing on various modalities shuc as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness. I often use humor as an icebreaker.

What you can expect from our first session

My therapeutic goal is to empower my clients to live their lives fully. My first order of business when meeting a new client is to begin developing trust on both sides. I ask questions. I listen. I offer honest feedback. i keep my mind and heart open.
