Nice to meet you

I view therapy as a safe place to explore relationships, whether with people or things, and to address the social, economic, and cultural influences that shape a person’s life. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process. I bring a committed, cooperative, non-judgmental, and compassionate approach, using individualized psychotherapeutic methods to support each client’s goals, feelings, behaviors, and experiences in the healing process.
