Great to meet you!

Helping others is my life mission, and I've continued to search for effective ways to help people find solutions to their life difficulties. I've worked in a number of alternative settings, including nature-based therapies, facilitating multi family group workshops and training other therapists in developing the best ways for their clients to get the results they are looking for

My approach to therapy

I operate out of a twofold approach. The first is helping the person to find the origins of the presenting problem and once that is understood, begin developing resources so that old situations do not continue to feel overwhelming

What you can expect from me

I often have people tell me that I am the first counselor that "gets them". I've developed ways of helping people quickly identify their old negative beliefs, and then importantly, provide them with tools and resources so that they begin living the life that they have truly desired
