I have over 20 years' experience working with both individuals and couples. I create a caring, safe, challenging and motivating environment so clients can better understand their patterns and start breaking cycles that inhibit well-being and potential. All of us will encounter periods of uncertainty, difficulty or change and may respond repetitively or unproductively, leaving us frustrated, weakened or unable to effectively tackle life's challenges. I encourage clients to enhance their strengths, increase self-understanding and foster personal and relational growth. No person is broken, or needs to be fixed, but only rediscovered.
I have a solid academic education with degrees in Marriage & Family Therapy, philosophy, psychology and sociology. My formal education combined with diverse life experience all contribute to the broad and rich therapeutic style I offer my clients.
Meeting and accepting clients exactly where they are is paramount to how I work. I create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable exploring their motivations, goals, passions and needs in addition to their hesitations, fears and insecurities. I attempt to find a balance between challenge and space as clients move at their own pace and find answers.
