I use a collaborative style, making the individual an active participant in the process. We will work to define the most serious problems, set realistic expectations, and focus on symptom reduction. My promise to all my clients is that I will respect them as individuals and work my hardest to improve their lives. The hardest part is often taking the first step, call to arrange for a free, no obligation 30 minute in person or phone consultation.

You can't hate or shame yourself into the changes you want to see in your life, and I'll help you learn to love yourself (or at least be a little kinder to yourself) to become the version of yourself you want to be. Carl Rogers, an inspirational therapist, said, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, or any mental health issue is a journey of self-acceptance, and you deserve support along that journey.
