I have worked in private practice as a psychotherapist for the past 18 years. Prior to that I provided counseling for 15 years to individuals with a variety of psychological, physical, and cognitive disabilities in a rehabilitation setting both in the public and private sector.
I am a compassionate clinician who incorporates a spiritual component in my work with clients. I believe each individual is capable of change and can benefit from the value of the therapeutic process.
The aim of my work is to collaborate with clients to help them experience more joy, success, and meaning in all areas of their lives. I am a warm, caring, and experienced therapist interested in helping clients access their innate strengths, achieve greater self-understanding, and find workable solutions to existing problems. Having observed the enormously positive effect therapy can have on people's lives, I am passionate about and find great joy in being a therapist.
