I believe it is the underlying interpersonal style and ability to connect and understand that rests at the heart of our work.

As a clinical psychologist, I aim to build a genuine relationship with each client, create a safe space for discovery, and work to understand that individual. This allows clients to safely explore alongside me, and begin to see themselves with greater clarity, depth, and honesty. Through the act and effort of genuinely and non-judgmentally understanding each client, lasting therapeutic change has an opportunity to take place. 

Good, effective therapy will likely not happen overnight (though exciting and wonderful eureka moments certainly occur along the way), and trust, honesty, and humor are invaluable to a beneficial therapeutic relationship. I believe that laughter and tears are equally powerful but that therapeutic change is measured in neither.

I look forward to working with you.
