About Me

My Philosophy

I believe that the most important aspect of a successful therapeutic relationship is the connection with my clients. As with any relationship, therapy works best when there is trust and mutual respect. My therapeutic style is warm, person-centered, solution-focused, and collaborative. While I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives, I can provide a fresh perspective and support to move you in a positive direction.

I pride myself on being more than just someone to listen, but someone to help my clients look at things in a different, healthier way. I focus on making my client sessions feel comfortable and emotionally safe at all times. In therapy, I help my clients focus on their well-being, mental and emotional health, and physical wellness.

I focus on solutions, encouraging my clients to challenge their distorted thinking and change negative patterns of behavior. Through therapy, my clients gain insight, understanding, and clarity. I support my clients as they build self-confidence, find peace and contentment, and take steps toward positive change. A major focus in therapy is to develop positive coping strategies that clients can use in their daily life to feel better.

While it may be necessary to explore past situations and traumas, the focus tends to be more on the present and future. Pain, stress, and difficult times provide some of the best opportunities to create meaning and hope. I am committed to providing my clients with encouragement, support, and the resources needed to reach their goals. Together with my clients, I help them to understand both day-to-day stressors and life’s major challenges. Therapy is a unique and individual process which I address with acceptance, and both personal and professional compassion.
