About My Clients

Everyone experiences moments of struggle and hardship, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, there is nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired.

My Background and Approach

I’m a straight-shooter and while being kind and empathetic I will still call you on your crap if that’s what needs to happen. I come into therapy as a real person and I don’t think therapy should be stale and overly clinical. I value being approachable and honest in sessions and in life. I truly believe in the power of therapy and if you put in the time, the effort, and the work during the therapy process, you will absolutely be transformed.
