I truly believe the therapist and the client work together to resolve, uncover, and understand the presenting problem’s nature. Although most come to therapy to address a certain problem, therapy can also be a space geared towards discovery and improvement. My desire as a therapist is for my clients to have peace with themselves and their world. In his book “the gift of therapy,” Irvin D. Yalom wrote, “a heightened sensibility to existential issues deeply influences the nature of the relationship of the therapist and patient and affects every single therapy session.” Activating awareness allows us to know our unknowns. Lastly, the journey is beautiful and encapsulates all the things that make us human beings.”

Tim received his MA in Counseling Psychology from Eastern University and his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan.
