What is your style/approach to therapy?
Cognitive Behavioral Approach
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
I believe utilizing my life experiences and the experiences I have gathered from those I work with becomes very helpful throughout therapy.
What do you think is the biggest barrier today for people seeking care?
I believe access and finances are some of the biggest barriers. Sometimes people do not know where to look for help and then some people do not have the finances to engage in therapy.
