You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.” -Sophia Bush

     I strongly believe in the innate beauty and vast potential of each and every person.  As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients see the greatness of who they are as they are now and the true potential of who they can become.  I am extremely passionate about my work and have had the great privilege of being witness to the amazing life changes a person can make once they are validated and are able to understand what they are really capable of accomplishing.
