I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to achieve your goals in therapy. I view each client as a unique individual and tailor my approach to best meet your needs.
By sharing your story and being curious, we help you connect the dots between your thoughts, emotions, impulses, behaviors and blind spots. We want to understand what shaped you and the patterns that contributed to how you see yourself.
