–
I create a collaborative and compassionate environment to help my clients embrace the best version of themselves and achieve identified goals. Our work takes shape in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space designed to explore troubling issues and background. Ideally, a client gains insight into areas where they may feel particularly challenged. This leads to deeper understanding, progress and, ultimately, change.
I am an active listener and believe in a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy. The working relationship that develops between the client and therapist is a vital part of the therapeutic process and positive treatment outcome. Therapy is strengths-based and offers realistic advice and solutions. I take a conversational and respectful, yet, directive approach.
