Great to meet you!

I welcome meeting new people and listening to their desires or needs for themselves to have a life worth living. I have a calmness that helps others who have a difficulty opening up to others.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Every person deserves a therapy approach that is specific for them and their needs. I take the time to get to know the client and talk about what areas in their life they wish to improve.

What you can expect from our first session

It is important that the client feels like they have accomplished something at the end of the session. No goal or task is too small, the slightest difference can make a significant positive impact on your life.

Warm
Humorous
Open-minded
