About me

The key to a satisfying, positive and successful therapy experience is the relationship between therapist and client, the right fit. As a therapist, it is my aim to create a comfortable, safe and accepting atmosphere to help you heal. Rather than a silent onlooker in the room, I am vocal and engaged, utilizing your story and history as well as and in-the-room observations to increase your self-awareness, find answers where you previously saw road blocks and partner with you while you decide what you need to change to make yourself feel better. Some people may disregard therapy because they feel therapists simply “tell you what to do”, thereby ignoring the dignity and intelligence of the client to make choices for him/herself.

Other people feel therapy is a waste of time and resources because therapists “only sit there and nod their head”; but give no feedback. I believe therapy should be a collaborative experience whereby the therapist respects the abilities and experience of the client while also respectfully attempting to stretch their patterns of thinking and behavior, while opening the door for a richer life and more satisfying relationships.
