Message to clients

I hope to act as your therapist, teammate, and cheerleader. I bring empathy, humor, and a professional lens to the room. You bring yourself and the unique expertise in your life. Together, we’ll work as a team to achieve your therapeutic goals.

I encourage you to reach out with any questions you may have about me or the therapeutic process, and to see if we might be a good match. I offer a free telephone or zoom consultation to make sure that we are the right match before ever getting started.
