Approach:

I believe in providing supportive therapy while increasing self-awareness and empowering clientele to understand their strengths and the role they play in growth. My approach is client centered. I believe our minds are fascinating and understanding that we control our emotions and that our emotions do not control us is key to empowering us to heal.
