WELCOME TO A NEW PERSPECTIVE

"The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self." LOVE AFTER LOVE
by Derek Walcott

"You were so incredibly helpful to me during a low point in my life and in the first year of my marriage."

Past Client

"I wanted to thank you for your work last year -- being given the space to self-reflect and confront those fundamental issues we discussed has been very helpful for me. It's a work in progress, of course, but I feel happier and more at-ease with my identity than I ever have."

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR VISIT

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding, reflection, insight, and awareness.  You should expect to be heard, understood, and guided towards increased acceptance within yourself and with your relationships.

It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from all parties.

I invite you to learn more about my services and how I might assist you on your path to health and wellness.
