about me

Therapeutic approach

Education & certifications

My therapeutic style is to be warm, direct, and open with my perspective. 

 

I value authenticity in my personal relationships and believe that therapy benefits from a similar openness.  This allows for mutual trust.

 

I focus on increasing your awareness of your motivations, thoughts, and feelings to reveal insight and more fulfilling, effective life choices.
