If you are looking for a trained, experienced down to earth therapist who has a compassionate and practical approach to therapy, look no further. My professional and my personal experience has shown me that offering a human approach is the most important aspect of the therapeutics relationship. I can promise to hold a confidential space in which you can share your difficulties and work with you towards resolution.
