Clients are the expert of their own lives and therapists are there to learn. My approach is to learn from each client how I can support them on their mental/emotional journey. I work to empower each client that they are more than the sum of thier greatest traumas and they have within them the ability to chart thier path in life.

I am there to be a listening ear, a cheerleader, but also someone to challenge clients when needed. Clients should walk away feeling empowered, encouraged, and thinking abut the next steps in their life.
