Personal Statement
I believe that we are all hard-wired for connection, relationships, and safe attachment. I am passionate about helping my clients learn to become the best version of themselves. I believe that we often get stuck in life attempting to solve problems the same way over and over. Once we get caught in this pattern, especially in relationships, we begin to argue over how we are fighting instead of working through relationship barriers. I help my clients learn new skills that will allow them to break problematic cycles and find new ways to connect with others.
One of the most important parts of my therapy is providing clients a space to feel safe, to connect, repair, and heal. I value creating a collaborative working relationship with my clients to set clear goals and actively work toward those. I am open-minded, straight forward, and work hard to provide the highest caliber of support to my client’s unique needs.
