Therapy is about uncovering desire. It is an adventure in moving past, dissolving or reducing painful problems and embracing life, love and relationships. It is more than words; it is experiencing oneself in ways that are meaningful, whatever that looks like for each person.

I believe there is always hope and possibilities and I passionately work with people to discover opportunities for more of what they want in life.
