A key to the effectiveness of therapy is the relationship itself; it's important to me that you feel accepted for exactly who you are at this moment. As your partner in change, I'm always looking beneath the surface to make meaning and connections. While helping you challenge unproductive thoughts and sharing tried and true techniques, I will help you process the experiences that have led to your current state so you can actively choose how to go forward on your journey, becoming the author of your own story. This way, you can become more resilient, better able to handle future challenges, and more prepared to rebound from setbacks.

Are things not going the way you thought they would or think they should? Are you or a loved one having trouble handling what life has thrown your way?
