My approach
I always start with here and now. I really listen. You will feel supported, and understood. We will work on positive strategies to feel and function better in your environment. The core of effective therapy is exploring how we can examine and adjust our thinking so we can feel and function better. Let the light shine in.
My focus
I work with clients who need help and want to find solutions and strategies to get better, function better, and feel better.
My communication style
I make therapy comfortable, relaxed, and easy. I am here to help you overcome obstacles to happiness and success. I bring out and support your special qualities, and provide support, insight, understanding, and practical solution-focused guidance and assistance.
My goals for you
I start with your strengths and build from there. The solution already resides in you, it always has - together we will bring it out. You will be surprised to discover your own wisdom, strength, and capacity.
My first session with you
