		<h2 style="text-align: center;">About the Practice</h2><p>Sometimes the problems that lead us to seek therapy are not as clear cut as what sends us to a medical specialist. If you are struggling with your relationship with yourself, others, or the world around you, I can help you achieve your goals.</p>
<p>Compassion and openmindedness comprise the foundation of all therapeutic work. My practice is open to people of all nationalities, ethnicities, genders, and orientations, and I welcome you to reach out if you have any questions.</p>
