My Philosophy

I provide you with a safe, confidential space to talk, explore, heal and grow. I’m here to help you to understand your areas of difficulty, gain relief from present symptoms and develop resources to cope in the future. I believe in a mind-body connection so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality. The benefits of my psychotherapy and counseling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.
I am proud to offer therapeutic options to help with many psychological issues, as a counselor, I will help tailor the treatment to your needs.
Counseling deals with issues through discussion and exploration. It is often short-term and I prefer to use person-centered and humanistic techniques. Psychotherapy is similar though it explores issues in greater depth and may be long-term. Psychotherapists often make use of psychodynamic, existential and psychoanalytic principles.
Some counseling research studies have shown that the most important variable in a successful course of therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. It is important that you feel that you can connect with your therapist, regardless of their theoretical approach.
