Sometimes a simple change in the way we think or approach things leads to the happiness and fulfillment we search for. Other times it's an emotional wound that has touched our core that we need to recover from. I provide a relationship-based therapy which focuses on the strengths present within all of us. Using this approach, I will help you overcome obstacles that keep you stuck and unfulfilled.

The change process is easier and longer lasting when we feel supported and encouraged...so whether you want to make specific, measurable changes over a brief period of time or you want to explore personal growth issues in a process of self-discovery, I welcome the opportunity to help you.
