Clients can expect from me an honest, relatable therapist who is concerned about their mental and emotional well being. We all get stuck at times in life and need a professional who will help them get through the these difficult times. I always take clients where they are and not where I think they should be. So, with gentle guidance and nurturing within the context of a solid therapeutic relationship, I encourage self awareness, growth and management of the problems that may be holding them back at this point in their life.

The treatment methods that I have effectively used with my clients are first and foremost, doing a genogram to learn about one's family system. I find this an important tool since we all are products of families, which can reveal a lot about some of our learned behavior and insights into some of our vulnerabilities, as well as how we've been taught to handle many of life's issues. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidenced based approach to many mental and emotional issues. I also use a variety of other effective tools, such as Narrative Therapy, Solution focused Therapy and Behavioral Modification. If needed, I can also help with any spiritual or religious struggles a person might be experiencing.
