I view therapy as a journey, and my therapist role as a co-journeyer, or "sherpa" -a fellow human being who knows the lay of the land professionally, but journeys with you into the terrain of your own life's challenges. Whether they're feeling stuck, lost, anxious, or loveless, I love helping people find their own answers — and their own ways.
