At time, life provides us with the opportunities that enable us to grow and accomplish. However, at times it also presents itself in the form of a challenge.

The clients that I collaborate most effectively with are those who are in a place of thoughtful contemplation-curious about their lives, their symptoms, their struggles and successes, and the impact of their decision making on their everyday experience.

My goal is to make our assessment a positive and useful experience, and to help you create positive therapeutic changes in your life.
