Great to meet you!

I had many years of corporate experience prior to getting my degrees in psychology. I use this expertise to help with problem solving as I did when I managed a large employee base.

My approach to therapy

I relate to people on a personal level so that they are comfortable with talking to me. I tend to be possitive, when possible, yet practical by not making promises or create expectations that may not be met.

What you can expect from me

Typically I use the first session to help people get comfortable, talk about their initial concerns, and hopefully create an environment of concern, support and positive regard for my clientele.
