Research has consistently shown the best predictor of positive therapeutic outcomes is the connection between therapist and client. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, collaborative environment to assist you in feeling more fulfilled and purposeful. We will work together in a balance of acceptance and change to promote internal validation, while challenging you and encouraging you to dig deep and make intentional and thoughtful changes toward self-growth.
