Introduction

I utilize a Relational and Integrative approach to treatment and feel strongly that each client is unique and entitled to a personalized therapeutic experience. Because I am curious about how you became the person you are I initially ask a lot of questions. As sessions progress therapy becomes an increasingly collaborative relationship. Together we set goals and explore new perspectives and strategies. My part in this collaboration is to provide you with a safe, compassionate and supportive environment – one where you are comfortable sharing your hopes and dreams, your struggles and fears, and experimenting with new ways of thinking and being in the world. My hope is that our work together will facilitate growth toward self-determination and greater joy in daily life.
