Welcome...
I am so glad you are considering the opportunity to begin or continue your journey toward personal growth and healing.
Entering into therapy is a big step. An important aspect of helping you to comfortably make this step is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. That is my goal. People begin counseling because they want something to change in their lives. l facilitate positive change by encouraging exploration, processing relevant issues with you, and helping to identify healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms in your life. Whether you are new to therapy or returning to therapy to readdress old issues and explore new areas, I believe that I can help you. I welcome you to my practice.
