Welcome to my Practice

It is not easy to open up to someone new and reveal truths about yourself, your feelings, and your life that you may not have shared with anyone else. I respect the courage each of my clients shows by reaching out for support when life’s challenges have become too much to face alone. I take the time to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients characterized by respect, compassion, and understanding in order to build trust and safety.
I will work collaboratively with you to develop a good understanding of the problem, the systems that keep the problem in place, and your hopes for change. My personal goal is to help to draw out your strengths, knowledge, and resources -- both internal and external -- to insure that our work together is meaningful and effective.
