Lets be honest; I know that it is not always easy to come to therapy and talk about difficult issues; however I want to assure you that I am here to help you with whatever life has thrown your way; and I am in this journey to self-improvement with you. Additionally; I want to teach you the skills I use to work through these problems so that you will come away from therapy with a better understanding of yourself; and how to independently work through your issues in the future. I have a very straightforward and direct approach to therapy. My passion is helping people; and I would be happy to help you.
