I'm not a fan of flowery language or vague, idealistic words. My clients are real people who are contending with the struggles of life. They are frequently intelligent, complex, skilled, and hardworking. They're often looking to explore an issue they can't share with other people in their lives or one that others seem worn out on discussing. They might feel stuck, or like they've missed out on something important on their journey to becoming their current self. They might struggle with a relationship, problematic feelings, or behaviors that don't make sense. My clients are looking for the opportunity to set some things in order.

My orientation is focused on seeing an individual within the context of their family, their work, their community. I will be a compassionate listener.

Everyone hopes to find a Therapist they will match well with in terms of personality and professional style, especially when they are suffering.
