As a therapist, I am thoughtful and deeply empathic. I focus on understanding the history of each of my patients, as well as the systems in which they function in order to address the challenges that each patient faces.

I believe that the initial focus of treatment is to create a strong therapeutic alliance, such that each patient feels a sense of comfort walking into the therapy room and feels safe engaging and communicating in treatment.

Therapy is a process that involves both the patient and provider, and as such I empathically encourage patients to explore their feelings and experiences, while also providing ideas and concepts to consider incorporating into their own lives.
