Warm, interested in them as individuals and in listening to the life stories that have shaped them.

I value and respect the trust you place in me, and I do not take lightly the opportunity for us to build a therapeutic relationship that will have meaning and benefit for you.

explore experiences, relationships, thoughts and feelings that are affecting you. I welcome whatever comes up in our conversations, without judgment, and in the hope that we can develop understanding through our collaboration.

may be experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, self-confidence, relationships, life circumstances, aging, life-limiting diagnoses or end-of-life concerns, grief/losses of all types, or who are academic, faith or spiritual professionals.

being present with and for people as they explore and navigate their vulnerabilities, experiences and challenges is what I consider essential work.

that it is easily accessible, and my office itself feels welcoming, comfortable, sheltering, and invites our connection.

I will bring creativity and humor to our conversations regularly when it's appropriate. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is responsible for your feeling heard and understood, and experiencing hopeful outcomes.
