Approach

Complicated problems require complex understanding and committed attention. Twenty years of experience in the mental health field informs my ability to better understand and empathize with my clients as well as offer meaningful interventions.

I aim to help every client gain greater insight into themselves and the dynamics at play in their life, relationships, and experiences. Insight alone can have a powerful and significant impact on progress and is at the heart of my work. 

Additionally, lasting change often requires exploring what may be getting in the way of a person’s inherent ability to live a fulfilling life. I am an avid consumer of education and training in the field of mental health which allows me to provide meaningful guidance and encouragement to assist you in feeling, thinking, and, ultimately, living better.

The more clear and honest you are able to be (mostly with yourself), the greater potential there is for healing. Honesty becomes more doable when you feel safe. It is my job and great honor to create a space where you can discuss difficult and personal matters while feeling accepted, understood and supported. 

That being said, in an effort to facilitate safety and comfort for all of my clients, I make it a priority to educate myself on how I may best support LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
