Personal Statement

My belief is that there can be no real growth without looking inward. Socrates said it best, I think, when he said," The unexamined life is not worth living." It is my hope that you're here because you want your life to be different in some way...because what worked for you in the past isn't working now.

One of the great things about therapy is that you get to talk to this person who isn't going to judge you, and isn't affected by what you do or don't do. And I can be much more objective since I'm not involved. I also bring a lot of experience and education to the table, which gives me a broader perspective. I think YOU have many of your answers within you...you just need a little help finding them. That's where I come in.

My focus (and my passion) is with the LGBT community, though I certainly don't limit my work to 'family'! Rest assured, though, that I am gay/trans/poly/kink/queer/bi (the list goes on!) friendly. Though I often work with transgender and gender variant clients, I like to work with all kinds of people from all walks of life and with all kinds of life challenges. Whether you're interested in individual or couples therapy, I'd consider it an honor to work with you. My mission is to provide quality therapy at an affordable fee.
