About
In joining my clients on their therapy journey, I think of myself as a fresh set of eyes and an available set of tools with instructions. You have been with you for literally your whole life. Moving forward in models or plans that aren’t a good fit- that doesn’t serve anyone. I keep clients active throughout treatment planning to be sure that we find an approach that works for each individual. My educational and partnership approach keeps clients up to speed and in the driver’s seat as they evolve and as needs change. Therapy isn’t something done to someone. It is done by the self with the support of a knowledgeable and attuned professional.
