Nice to meet you

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults and couples. I have enjoyed and respected each and every individual who has reached out to me, regardless of their backgroud, regardless of their presenting problem. I have been able to engage each and every one of those individuals. My style is open, warm, interactive, humorous at times, challenging at times, always interested, always fullly present and aware of the person's words, their affect, thier context. I am honest & appropriately direct. I listen. I encourge exploration of the clients truths. My interest in each human being is deep and authentic.
