The single client factor which best predicts success in psychotherapy
is whether or not the client can stay with their experience.

If you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, grief or loss, depression, anxiety, divorce, codependency, addiction, shame, or simply long for self-care and empowerment, you have choices. Curiosity and loving kindness have the power to create healthy change. Straight-forward and supportive, I can help you become brave enough to weather personal storms, tender enough to be vulnerable, resilient enough to succeed, and confident enough to trust your own wisdom.
