Great to meet you!

I pride myself on meeting my client where they are emotionally. My down-to-earth conversation style applies to all walks of life. I believe therapy can be a conversation between friends with affirmation when needed, a direct discussion, or simply a light sense of humor. Life is full of moments. I am here to help the leap from this moment to the next.

My approach to therapy

I have a conversational approach where you could see us being friends if it weren't for the current situation. Regardless of the academic background, I know what it is like just coping with life.

What you can expect from me

Working with me, a client can expect push back to some of their notions that may be creating problems for them. They can also expect direct steps to rebuild from their paradigm shift.
