"Coming into therapy can seem scary, and for some, it may even be unclear how therapy can be useful or why you should begin this journey. I create a comfortable environment that is accepting of all people, regardless of the place you are in or the hesitancy you may be feeling about beginning the process of therapy. I work with clients by developing a relationship through genuine and caring interactions, by meeting you in the present moment, and helping identify your strengths. This can help people work through making difficult decisions, supporting life transitions, or managing mental illness."

"Hello! Everyone has problems sometimes, but we don't always have the solutions. We try to figure it out ourselves, talk to family and friends, even try different things, but sometimes nothing seems to work. This is where therapy can help! I practice mainly solution-focused therapy from a systemic view, which simply means that I help people find solutions to the problems that life throws at all of us. This tends to be a fast-paced, creative and collaborative process centered on you and the issues that are important to you."
