I am prepared to help clients engage and address the challenges they face, in a safe therapeutic atmosphere, to return to a balanced and joyful lifestyle. My style is empathic and compassionate. My approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing from a variety of treatment models including Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Strength’s Based as well as several others, depending on the complexity of the issue.
