Message to clients

I understand that beginning therapy can seem daunting. I am here to make you feel comfortable from the first consultation, by answering any and all questions that you may have. I also acknowledge that opening up to a new person can be scary and being vulnerable is not always easy. I can tell you from experience, therapy can be extremely rewarding and enjoyable, especially if a client finds the right therapist. I strive to be that therapist for you. I welcome all individuals and couples to contact me to schedule an initial consultation. I am here to help you on your journey of healing, and I look forward to working with you.
