Making the decision to seek professional help for yourself or your loved one can be intimidating. I’m the therapist for people that “don’t like therapy”. More than half of my patients were formerly people who had never tried psychotherapy, "didn't believe in it" or had negative past experiences. They were skeptical, to say the least. I believe that asking for help can be very, very difficult for some people, so when they finally decide to come in, I want them to be received by someone who is real, authentic, relatable and non-judgmental.

When a person is faced with life stressors, it can be hard to know how to "act" or "present themselves." An ideal client is one who recognizes that something is not right and takes the first step in seeking help. That is the most difficult part.

I am proud of you for taking the first steps towards a positive change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you through your journey.
