We work together as a team. I develop treatment goals based on what you want to address, and if you agree, we'll work on them together with some homework. Therapy is about you, so if you come in having a bad day, let's talk about that.

When I am not practicing therapy, I am practicing yoga, in a salt spa, reading for pleasure, writing poems, walking to get coffee or tea, attending concerts, or cooking dinner with family and friends.
