Nice to meet you
People seek counseling for many different reasons. I believe it takes strength to come to therapy, and I see the people I work with as courageous, not weak. I meet you where you are and work with your strengths, as well as what you’d like to change, so you can move toward your hopes and dreams. I don’t believe you need to be in therapy forever—the purpose of therapy is for it to end. You decide your goals, not me. We collaborate to help you reach them.
