Personal Statement:
I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation to help clients find success in multiple life domains. I use a holistic, integrative approach and focus on physical health, in addition to psychological and emotional health. I provide empathy, respect, honesty and humor to create a safe place to begin the therapeutic journey. I help clients explore negative core beliefs, detrimental family of origin patterns, maladaptive coping mechanisms and toxic relationships that seem to prevent individuals from finding peace and balance in their lives.
