My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and flexible to suit your needs and strengths. You are the expert on your own life, and I contribute another perspective and strategies for meeting your goals.

Therapy with me spans the spectrum of human emotions. Some sessions may be challenging and feel like an emotional workout. Others will feel uplifting, and involve jokes and laughter. Sometimes this occurs all within one session!
