"Individuals have a strong and compelling desire to be seen by others. In my therapy practice I continually strive to provide this understanding. I am not always perfect, as some patients would no doubt attest, but I do put in the work; I do this because I am convinced that it is through our connections with others that we achieve permanent change."

"If you are at the point of seriously considering therapy, then you are probably experiencing tremendous pain and frustrated with how life is. You now recognize that something needs to change and you would like help to achieve that. The process of effective therapy requires a space of safety and protection. You typically sit across from a therapist at your most vulnerable opening up about what is truly painful and unbearable. Will they understand your experience and have the ability to help you solve the problems at the center of your pain?"

"Therapy can be a completely different experience depending on the people involved. My style of therapy involves getting to know my client and helping them use their strengths to improve their life. Often client's overlook their own strengths while identifying with their diagnosis, failings, or past. I am often amazed at the strength and resilience of individuals and look forward to helping them find it within themselves. In therapy the relationships between the clinician and client is the primary element toward improvement. I work hard to keep the relationship strong and growing."
