My Focus Areas
My Therapy Style
My approach is person-centered. I seek to build rapport and make the client comfortable with me. I work to gain the trust of the client to allow them to open up in a trusting way so they can begin to resolve their issues. I have been doing therapy since 2011 and have seen all types of presentations. I have diagnosed the most mild to the most severe disorders and have had success working with very diverse populations.
