Professional statement

Message to clients

Why should you choose me as your therapist? I can’t promise you that everything will be ok, but I can promise to help you feel better prepared to face life’s problems. I do not enter into a therapeutic relationship with rigid structure or ideas of how our journey will unfold - you are an active participant in the creation of our plan. I believe that change is always possible with willing participants, and we can always find a way. I work with individuals, couples, and small groups when appropriate. I utilize many modalities along the way with a goal of providing you the skills and tools you need to tackle life.

I am flexible and always willing to shift approaches to better support you, but I will also challenge you when necessary. I specialize in relationships (romantic, platonic, family, and anything in between) and life transitions (grief & loss, changing relationship status, divorce).

You will be in a space free from judgment around how your relationships (and their issues) and life trajectory fit into societal norms.
