Emotional health doesn’t happen by chance. It is a commitment to a better future which you deserve. During your initial visit, we will begin our therapeutic relationship and discuss your short-and long-term goals for therapy. Whether you are interested in a few sessions to deal with current life stressors or seeking long-term therapy to overcome past trauma, we will create a treatment plan that will help you live a more fulfilling life. I take a collaborative approach where you determine your needs and we work together to address the issues that brought you to therapy while identifying strategies to assist in the healing process.
