High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
I was trained in brief, short-term therapy—because we all want quick results. I’m interactive with clients and don’t just provide “talk therapy.” We’ll co-create a plan to help you achieve positive results. I hold clients accountable and assign homework, as I believe lasting change takes work beyond weekly sessions. I’ll offer input, impressions, and gently challenge you when defenses arise. At the same time, I’ll provide positive regard, reflective listening, and be your cheerleader. I aim to empower you—not enable you.

Interests
I'm very active, and after work, I'm playing tennis, doing yoga, Pilates, skating on the strand, etc. My passion is traveling around the world, which I believe is the best education. I've learned a lot from the locals I've met across the globe. My place of worship is Mother Nature—whether it be the beach, mountains, rainforest, river, etc. I love being on the water and in the sun. Spending time with family and friends is also important to me.
