My Therapeutic Style
Challenges truly can be opportunities; they offer information to help us grow and change. When people are in pain I know how important it is to have a safe place to find ways to heal, to feel, and to function better. I can help you find sustainable, sensible solutions that make sense to you. In my practice, you can expect to be understood without judgment and treated with respect, kindness, a sense of humor, and compassion.
Therapeutic Orientation
Life transitions at any age can be challenging. Transitions also provide opportunities for growth. I work collaboratively and respectfully with clients to discover tools to help you find and reach your goals as soon as possible. Therapy can and should be a place to explore who you are, what your goals might be, to find acceptance, work with challenging emotions, support and build lasting relationships, and more.
