Therapists and counselors generally view their clients based upon a particular theory or approach. This refers to a set of beliefs and assumptions that inform the way we understand our clients' problems and how we assess and treat those who come to us for help. My education and experience, as a Master in Social Work and a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy, have provided me with the training to work with my clients through a lens that considers multiple perspectives, is systemic, relational, focused on the present, and solution-oriented. Whether you are considering individual, couple, and/or family therapy, I maintain a deep appreciation of and respect for the uniqueness of each person and relationship.

I approach my clients with respect in a caring, compassionate, and nonjudgmental manner. My orientation is systemic and relational, focused on moving forward toward solutions, identifying and utilizing each individual's unique gifts, strengths, resources, resiliencies, special qualities, and talents.

Working virtually, I collaborate with my clients, and create an open, safe, warm, nonjudgmental space that bridges the physical distance and permits the client to enter into an environment that can facilitate change and possibility.
