About My Clients

Change is painful. We learn thru pain and anxiety. It makes sense that we try to avoid these feelings. But if we avoid them too long it can have dire consequences. It could be a disaster. There is no way in preempting change as it is necessary for learning. When you do that, circumvent the process, it just makes it more arduous. It becomes so much harder for you! Change leads to more opportunity. Therapy is a conduit into learning and recognizing who you are. Therapy allows for your perception

My Background and Approach

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, kinetic and humanistic. We will work in tandem to shape the sessions to address your predicaments as well as your needs. At the start of therapy, we will discuss your treatment goals, whether they be short or long-term. You may not be sure of your goals when we first meet, and that is okay as well. I will work to ensure that you feel supported. I believe that a genuine therapeutic alliance and mutual trust are essential in developing a safe atmosphere for healing. Ultimately, the quality of our state of mind defines our perception of ourselves, others and how we move through the world. I value your bravery and willingness to be vulnerable. Change is painful but leads to opportunity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My path to becoming a therapist started in childhood, like all things. It began with one of the biggest questions we all have: “What is the meaning of life?” This question led me to explore and attempt to understand how human beings strive to comprehend their own problems, ideas, and situations while experiencing their worlds.
