More About Me

My approach

I have always been interested in relationships and have always believed that our optimal well-being is intimately tied to the relationships in our lives. I recognize that relationships are not only with our romantic partners but with our families, friends, children, and ourselves.

When it comes to therapy, I adopt a goal-oriented approach where together, we explore your aspirations and goals and how I can be a collaborative agent on your journey. I believe that each client is an expert in their life, and I strive to understand my clients by asking many questions and building strong rapport. I am often told by clients that I am easy to talk to, warm and understanding. Research will tell you that the therapeutic alliance is one of the strongest predictors of therapy success. I believe this wholeheartedly and ask my clients to let me know how we can best work together and how I can adjust myself to better fit their needs.

I like to be honest with my clients in addressing areas that I feel may be important, and I believe that patience, vulnerability and collaboration are all crucial factors in the process of psychotherapy. I do believe that moving slow is moving fast when it comes to therapy, and I tend to follow a more structured process in the beginning, while we build rapport, trust and security. Following that, our sessions will become more flexible as we will have a better understanding of one another.
