"As a therapist I always enjoy taking a deeper look at what is going on in people's lives. Many times therapy may look like a prescribed set of solutions offered by a counselor but I think that each person and their life story is too unique to be boxed into the same type of treatment as everyone else. I hope to establish meaningful connections with each of my clients in order to explore the nature of relationships and the hurt they may be experiencing in their lives."
