In my practice, I focus on providing a comfortable environment and collaborative relationship for us to address the concerns that are leading you to seek therapy. Together we will explore patterns or behaviors that may be interfering in achieving the life you want, allowing us to then actively make changes in these patterns. I believe everyone makes changes at their own pace and will work with you where you are. My goal is to help you move forward toward a life that you find valuable, fulfilling, and satisfying.

I am passionate about helping each person achieve their goals and to live their best life. I look forward to the opportunity to be part of your journey. Please reach out so I can help you get started in freely living your life!

My pup likes to help out much of the time from the background, so if you hear anything during the session it is likely him. Duncan is still a puppy and may move around while hopefully not causing a distraction!
