My approach to therapy

I believe each client wants to live their best life but circumstances may have prevented it until they enter therapy. Once they learn the reason they do behaviors and become aware of how the pattern develops they can make healthier choices to alter the pattern and to respond rather than react to situations.

What you can expect from me

I take a history and help them vocalize and formulate what their goals are for therapy. I do not judge. I offer hope that no matter what they have experienced therapy can have a positive outcome. I believe in giving homework. I use traditional therapeutive methods along with holistic ones
