My Approach to Helping
Since I was very young, I was always the person people turned to when it came to sharing their concerns or challenges and it's always been my passion to help others. My therapy style is very engaged, open, and active and it's important to me that my clients leave each session with a feeling of value, accomplishment, and direction. My style is practical, educational, and collaborative in helping you to realize your vision and goals and strive toward achieving successful results and experiencing your potential. I'm very laid-back, like to laugh and bring humor into sessions, and have an office environment that's comfortable, cozy, and relaxing in a quiet and private setting surrounded by a pond.
