My Therapeutic Technique

I believe that people come into counseling with their own solutions. My job is to create a unique therapy for each individual to help them uncover and build upon strengths they already possess.

I seek to make the therapy room a safe & non-judgmental place for all emotional experiences, and a place to make peace with parts of ourselves that we fear and dislike. As clients build compassion for themselves, they find their compassion for others growing, and the strength to examine and change their lives for greater happiness and fulfillment.
