No matter who you are, you are welcome here.  I celebrate diversity and advocate for social justice.  Its in my code of ethics, but its also deeply engrained in my value system.  It is important to me to respect differences in culture, race, gender, sexual orientation, spirituality and I will consider those elements of your life and how they might impact your experience in the world.  

 

I strive to create a warm, relaxed, grounded, safe space for my clients.  I recognize that engaging in therapy can be a difficult decision and I feel honored when someone chooses to share some of their deepest feelings with me.  I do not take that lightly.  I want you to feel comfortable being honest about your feelings and challenges so that the work done in therapy can be authentic and productive.  

​

I take a client-centered approach to therapy, which means there is no one-size-fits-all model that works for everyone.  I access my knowledge and experience to tailor an eclectic plan to meet your individual needs and to help you accomplish your personal goals for therapy.  I include you in this process offering choices and welcoming feedback.  Therapy oftentimes is hard work; I understand that, and I want to help you overcome any barriers or obstacles that may be hindering your process.
