Professional Statement

During these confusing and stressful times, it can be difficult to get the right kind of support. Things happen that can force almost anyone to re-evaluate life and spark the need for change. Clients may present with a range of life circumstances but come to therapy with the readiness and the desire to improve quality of life and build relationships with others and self. No matter what, in each of us is the capacity for positive growth. My job is to support clients with the tools and the inspiration to build skills for better living. I use a strength-based approach and embrace issues of identity and diversity in the process. I use positive, narrative techniques and evidence-based methods as the foundation for change. Like it or not, the impact of the pandemic has forced many changes in the way we live and the ways we view ourselves, each other and the world. More than ever, people need access to therapy. I welcome the chance to serve you.
