I believe therapy is about development and progression.  Therapy can and often should be a challenging process. Recognizing that change can be hard at times, I strive to provide a safe, confidential, and comfortable atmosphere. I work hard to balance a client’s desire to change and need for support and stability by providing a challenging yet nurturing environment. Change requires patience and courage. It is important to me that we establish a mutual trusting therapeutic relationship in order for therapeutic sessions to be productive, optimized and beneficial.
