Great to meet you!

I am an easy-going provider and my true goal is to see my client achieve greater than when they first arrived in my office. I do not believe in wasting time or money. So.. buckle up and get ready for therapy.

A bit about my approach to therapy

There is no such thing as an ideal client. That is too boring. The way I do therapy is relaxed. I am not your average therapist, and I am not going to be like, "How does that make you feel?" but I am going to say, "What up! How are we doing today?" I never stop learning, and when you have me as a therapist, you will see that you will fall back in love with learning. Overall, I am just honored you allowed me to help you!

What you can expect from our first session

What I hope you gain from having me as your therapist is the understanding that therapy is not stressful, and it allows you to learn a great deal about yourself more quickly.
