Introduction: I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and couples. My style is open, non-judgmental, engaged, direct, and compassionate. I see therapy as an opportunity to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of their problems and challenges, develop greater self-understanding, and make meaningful changes that help to create greater fulfillment in life, work, and relationships.
