Message to clients

I admire your courage as you seek a therapist. Whether you’re looking for support for yourself or a family member, I want to encourage that relief and healing are possible. I realize therapy can be challenging and believe that feeling stretched is usually a sign of growth.

I believe that our relationships are only as healthy as we are. One of the greatest interpersonal strengths we can develop is the ability to allow ourselves to be vulnerable in front of another. As a therapist, I don’t take that opportunity lightly. Regardless of how often we meet, I am honored to play a supportive role in your journey.
