Get To Know Me

If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?

The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. I love leading groups based upon this workbook. It is fun, easy to use and gets deep at core issues of identity development, spirituality and creativity.

What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?

I have also been a good listener and I enjoy helping others.

How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?

I use a collaborative approach based on my client's goals and we review their progress every few months.
