You: "Enough is enough". You're ready for personal change. And now it's time to choose a therapist who is a good fit for you. Rapport is key in therapy. You need to be able to be quite open with how you think and feel. I may be a good fit for you if you are looking for these qualities: warmth, good listener, nonjudgmental, someone you feel you can trust and someone who empowers you to make your own decisions by asking key questions.

*New clients, please use email for fastest reply.* Therapy should begin with establishing a trusting and therapeutic relationship, in a relaxing environment, where clients of all ages will feel comfortable, safe & understood (my dog Taffy is my 'co-therapist'!). Although everyone struggles at times during our lives, most of us still reeling from the past few years alone. I believe ALL people have hidden strengths (yes, you too!) that they can use and build upon, while also learning how their past history may still effect their thoughts, actions, and self esteem. Therapy is about insight, encouragement, support, and progress.
