High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
I specialize in helping you feel comfortable talking about the core issues that might be underlying the reasons for seeking therapy at a no-pressure pace. I enjoy working with people who are unsure about therapy as well as those experienced and enthusiastic. My approach is person-centered, with an emphasis on evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavior therapy. Depending on your reasons for seeking therapy my style might be informal or structured. I see my work as that of a guide who can help you better understand yourself, your needs, your strengths, and your goals.
