Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I do not offer a "quick fix" approach to therapy. I like my clients to be engaged in the process, learn how to calm, soothe, and cope with their presenting issues. I do not like rushing the therapeutic process. I let my clients fully explore the depths of their emotions and understand the etiology of their feelings. And at the end of our time together, I hope that every client has the tools and practiced coping skills to manage their stressors independently.
