I work with patients who are highly motivated to overcome challenges, and to gain meaningful self-discovery and self-development. My overall goal for patients is to promote real change, noticeable healing, and genuine insight (into oneself, others, and circumstances). I try to support and strengthen patients' coping abilities, while at the same time help them discover ways they undermine or self-sabotage their own success and well-being. I work to empower patients to develop themselves and develop healthier lives and relationships over time. It almost always take more time than we wish it did. Thus, I do not do brief therapy.

It is a challenging experience to find a therapist. It is challenging because you have to be brave enough to seek therapy even though there is stigma, fear, and doubt that you may hear from others or even your own mind that says to not try. To further make it challenging, you may have a lengthier search finding a therapist who fits with you personally after coming up with the courage to even meet with one. So I'd like to thank you for seeking therapy in general and also thank you for allowing me to share some details of my practice so that you might consider us working together.
