Great to meet you!

I am so glad that you have chosen to take this leap into understanding how to become the best version of yourself. I have been working with children, families and individuals in both the public and private sectors for over 18 years and continue to be profoundly inspired by the resiliency of each person. My hope is that our time together will be empowering, enlightening, and enriching, and that you walk away with practical tools for everyday living.

My approach to therapy

This is a journey that we will embark on together. It is built on mutual trust and respect, and can only be effective to the extent that you are ready and willing. It is important for me to begin where you are most comfortable, as you identify the goals that are most important to you, making adjustments as needed. Listening and reflecting are my greatest assets as I believe that is pivotal to understanding who you are, who you aspire to be, and what you hope to achieve.

What you can expect from me

The goal of each session would be to equip you with practical tools to navigate life with increased insight into your own strengths and areas for growth. We will use a variety of methods to accomplish this, some of which might be strategies that you already utilize. Building a trusting relationship is essential to creating an environment where meaningful change can occur. Sessions will provoke thought, increase insight and challenge your comfort zone, all of which we will tackle together!
