I've found it helpful in my practice to be direct and to the point, while maintaining professional and nurturing
relationships with my clients. I believe strongly in modeling healthy boundaries, and helping clients to strengthen their
own.  When we accept responsibility for the quality of our own lives,
change begins immediately.   Allowing someone to
face those challenges with you can be one of the hardest aspects of starting psychotherapy.   Of the many important
factors in this decision, feeling that there is a good match between you and your therapist is key to making the process
work for you.  I offer respect, non-judgment and empathy so that the therapeutic relationship gives you the opportunity
for awareness that allows you to grow and find new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. I want to help you feel
better in the shortest time possible so you can begin ENJOYING your life again.
