I am committed to collaborating with you to identify your desires and needs, as well as the means to fulfill them. You possess the expertise on your life and what is or isn't effective/helpful for you. My expertise lies in facilitating your understanding of your aspirations and the pathways to attain them. Our work together will be approached with an open mind, without presumptions about what is best or right for you. I am here to support you throughout your therapeutic journey, whatever direction it may take.
In 2015 I became a certified Level I Solution-Focused Therapy Practitioner. I am trained in several other therapy models (heavily focused on trauma treatment) and will incorporate techniques based on what you need/express as being potentially helpful. We will co-create your path to achieve your goals.
Locating the ideal therapist can be a scary, challenging and time-consuming process. Reaching out is an important and brave step. This is a personal journey and having the right support on that journey is critical. I am here to help you get that support.
