Message to clients

I decided to become a therapist the day my own therapist changed my life. She gave me hope to continue and I was amazed how one person could provide that for another. I hope to create a welcoming and safe environment for you to feel comfortable logging on and talking about whatever is coming to mind. I strive to lead by example and demonstrate the power of empathy. If I am able to show you empathy, then maybe you can give yourself some empathy too.
