I don't believe in "mental illness": No one comes to therapy because has been too awesome. When we can identify the source of your pain and heal it, we can change your life. Everyone can get better. They just need to find the right therapist.

I have a down-to-earth style that is balanced by an ability to be direct when needed. Sometimes, people need more than reassurance and support in therapy. Sometimes they need someone to tell what they need to hear, even when it's tough.

I am client centered meaning we will go at your pace working as a team on issues you identify. I am also trauma focused - I have several tools to navigate you through resolving trauma without letting therapy re-traumatize you.
I provide a place you can reveal your thoughts and feelings without being concerned about a negative reaction. We work together over time to achieve the goals you desire, along with helping you become self-sufficient to deal with life’s curveballs.

We will do a lot of work together, but my goal is to make “walking through” your uncomfortable moments more bearable. Sessions will begin with what is currently on your mind. Our work is a gradual and continuous, even outside of our sessions.
