My Approach to Helping

I always tell my clients, "I can never know you better than you know yourself; therefore, on this journey towards healing, I will be directing you, not in front telling you what to do."

I believe great therapy is like a GPS, the client gets exact directions, but ultimately has the emotional freedom to make the choices that best fit their goals.

My approach is supportive, honest and fun. I believe that the more you like something, the more you want to do it. Therapy, just as in life, should be enjoyable and therefore so should the healing process be.

The goal, just as in my practice, Bright Minds Therapy LLC, is to get each client to reach their peak self, their happiest and most vibrant version of themselves.
