My Approach to Helping

Are you struggling to handle a recent change in your life? Sometimes life's challenges are difficult to cope with on our own. A caring, trusted, and competent therapist can help you move beyond challenges, cope with new changes, and grow as a person. This growth can help improve your relationships with family, friends, and co-workers and boost your self-esteem.

I offer you a safe and caring environment in which you explore how you respond to life's changes, examine how you are in your relationships with yourself and others, and evaluate which changes can help you achieve the life you desire. I believe we are each whole and unique beings with the ability to achieve fulfilling lives. Let's work together to explore and overcome your obstacles to achieving a fulfilling life.
