I will genuinely be interested in you and how you want to progress. I wear many "hats" as a therapist (e.g., listener, coach, guide, problem-solver) and tailor my approach to what each client is hoping to obtain from therapy.
My goal is to help you achieve optimal mental health, increased vitality, and emotional well-being. Together, we will identify what shapes you, and your emotional patterns, and help you live by the values that are meaningful to you.

Explore "The two I's" - Insight and Implementation. The therapeutic process in a nutshell is simple - understanding why we do what we do, why we feel this way, why think this way - and what do we do about it? Although a simple process, neither step is easy.
