Therapy helps us to feel understood and to accept everything that is wonderful about us, including our "flaws." I work collaboratively with people to change counterproductive thoughts and behaviors, while simultaneously strengthening thinking patterns that support the changes we aspire to make in our lives. I listen actively, offering practical solutions and techniques to help us better cope with challenges, all punctuated with a sense of humor.
