About My Clients

I endeavor to help my clients develop self-awareness and achieve their potential, enabling them to find their own answers and make transformative changes.

My Background and Approach

I am a humanistic and person-centered therapist, which means that I work in a non-directive, client centered way.

By exploring and challenging personal values, attitudes and beliefs that lead to negative patterns, we can break the cycle of self-defeating and self-sabotaging behavior that is often the cause of our present difficulties.
