I work with a range of clients that present a variety of unique circumstances. However, there is a common thread, they are not reaching their full potential.

During our initial meeting we will discuss your specific areas of concern as well as assess if we are the right client/therapist fit. From here, we will be able to create your personalize treatment plan and discuss how it can best work into your day-to-day life.
