I am focused on the therapeutic alliance. I was undecided in college; I had no idea what I wanted to do. I took a lower-division psychology course. I was very interested in the power of the human brain. I am driven by my obstacles in life and the power of overcoming. I believe we all have this power; I just want to help my clients tap into it.

For live appointments, client's come about 10 minutes early and then take the elevator up to the third-floor lobby, where they sit down and fill out a one page information sheet. At the given appointment time, I will come down the hallway and greet you and then we go to my small, confidential office to talk. For online appointments, I use Zoom.
