I am a therapist with experience working with clients facing a wide range of challenges.

He is incredibly perceptive, compassionate and understanding. He offers real time ideas to help yourself. Often instead of telling me , he asks , which provokes real consideration on what you’re really going through and what the root problem is. His approach is not “ your feeling this way because”. It’s more like where do you think your thoughts originate or what do you believe is causing your thought. We have had serious break through moments.
