My Background

Hello & Welcome!

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of collaboration. A therapist and client need to work together to help the client achieve their goals.  Through a client-centered approach, I provide the them a safe environment to share their thoughts and feelings. We will explore the issues on hand together and identify opportunities to help the them meet their goals. I provide my client's the tools to help them move forward and live a happier life.
