My main objective is to "help you help yourself" in a safe, non-judgmental environment that can foster positive change. I believe a positive therapeutic relationship can facilitate meaningful change and breakthrough by assisting you with developing skills and obtaining tools that will aid you in obtaining a more fulfilling life.
