Since then, I’ve been treating individuals, couples, families, and children, gaining a wealth of experience and knowledge treating various mental health issues.

My approach to therapy

As a counselor, I would describe myself as an eclectic therapist, and I use a variety of theoretical approaches in my work, depending on my specific client’s needs.
