I strive to create a safe environment for my clients, and to provide a sense of comfort. Together, we explore all aspects of your experience and work on what may be distressing to you. I approach clients with caring and warmth. I am passionate about helping you overcome the obstacles you face. I believe therapy is a rewarding experience, where the therapist and client work together to better understand how to facilitate healing.
