Introduction

My goal for anyone entering into therapy with me is that we become partners in understanding your path to this point in your life and begin exploring ways to make the changes that will bring you to the place you would like to be. I try to bring a unique blend of warmth, humor, and caring directness to create an environment to safely explore what the barriers might be that are blocking the progress you are seeking. Over my past 25+ years of experience in working with a range of individuals with complex needs, I hope I could be the partner for change that you are seeking in therapy.
