I am passionate about assisting my clients explore the change process, as well as the surrounding struggles that often accompany it. I have an easy and accessible style. I believe that when clients feel comfortable, they are more likely to take risks and make changes that otherwise feel too challenging. My training as a researcher ensures that I approach my work with curiosity and openness.
