My Approach to Helping

Each psychotherapy process is a unique journey. The idea of unpredictability in therapy can be scary. It’s understandable if you may be hesitant. You can feel assured that my experience with treating many different issues and utilizing many different approaches over the years will help guide you towards reaching your goals. Ideally, the therapist and client work together in order to create the healing event.
