Personal Statement

I am a warm, approachable and thoughtful therapist who will actively work with you to help you think about your feelings and areas of difficulty. When you start therapy with me, I will encourage you to tell me your story by asking you questions and helping to start thinking about why you are in this emotional space. We will work as a team to move you forward.
