Your stress and your relationships have a unique history and context. We work together to understand what matters to you, and why it matters, and how you demonstrate it to yourself and to others. The better you understand yourself, the better you can pick and choose your words and your actions.
I will listen to you, I will ask you questions. I will encourage you to explore your options. We all have choices. Change is possible one step at a time.
Usually a personal appointment can be arranged within a week or two, depending on your schedule. The sooner you call, the sooner you can make your life better.

Person-centered therapy puts you in control of our focus. I will ask gentle questions to help us both understand you better. Your history, your values and your situation are unique, so your feelings and preferences are also unique. Together we will figure out what works for you.
