Great to meet you!

My approach to therapy is to be completely present to what the client is discussing. I work hard to listen intently to what the client is expressing--which requires listening "between the lines" at times. In other words, listening to what's not being said. I focus on what the clients strengths are and encourage them in that direction. Additionally, I use empowerment based approaches to therapy to help clients realize their full potential of living an authentic life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is to provide strategies for working through the variety of challenges clients face. Utilizing an approach of empowerment therapy as well as a solution oriented treatment style helps clients find their foothold and regain strength and confidence in their own abilities.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to be enthusiastic about their journey toward healing.
