Treatment Approach

I provide nonjudgmental, client-centered psychotherapy that is solution-oriented and goal-driven. My style is positive and nurturing. One of my strengths is building safe, caring, and trusting relationships. Together, we work from your strengths to examine underlying issues and create lasting change in confidence, self-esteem, and relational/behavioral patterns. The goal: to help you gain insight to recognize your value and live your best life. 

I appreciate that there is no single approach that works for all. I have a unique ability to understand, motivate, and inspire those who seek my guidance. This journey—helping people overcome barriers to rediscover joy—is my passion and my purpose. Let’s begin.

What To Expect

  • Each session is 50 to 60 minutes in length.
  • You can attend as little or as often as you like. 
  • Having someone to listen to you without judging or minimizing what you feel or think is powerful.
  • I have found that clients make the most progress with weekly sessions initially.

Please verify your health insurance coverage when you arrange your first visit.
