I believe our relationships are what provide meaning to life. There are always opportunities to discover more about who we are and who we want to become through how we relate to one-another as well as how we treat ourselves. I view therapy as a partnership between my clients and myself. I am a solution focused therapist and provide a combination of collaboration, education, problem solving, and insight into dysfunctional patterns and interventions aimed at changing thoughts, feelings and/or behaviors that may be getting in your way of living the life you desire.
