Therapy Style
I truly believe that every person deserves to live their best life - the best version of their best life.
Sometimes things happen that get in the way of that, and my goal is to help clients overcome those barriers, challenges, obstacles, losses … whatever it may be so that they may be able to realize their true inner potential. I believe that we all have the inner resources to overcome challenges and that sometimes we just need a little guidance to find and utilize those resources.
I approach clients in need with a direct skills-based approach while always holding an unconditional positive regard for the individual journey and path someone may be on. I am excited by both the large and small changes someone is able to make and strive to always do my best to be warm, approachable, authentic and encouraging.
