Traditionally, therapy has been thought of as an intervention for those who suffer from serious emotional illness. However, therapy can also be a tool used to enhance life, even for those who seem happy and not in need of intervention. Fortunately there are no upper limits on the positive changes that can be made in our lives. My goal is to work with those who want to improve themselves, their circumstances and/or their relationships. Whether you are dealing with more serious emotional difficulties, or want to enhance what you already have, I can help.
