“I am a strong believer in the therapeutic relationship and see every day how the powerful process of psychotherapy helps my clients cope with life challenges and find inner strength. In my practice, I see how insight gained from the therapeutic relationship can reduce psychological symptoms and promote resilience. When relationships are the problem, our collaboration often improves communication and understanding with others. I strive to construct a psychotherapeutic environment that elicits change and guides people toward living more authentically.”
