Therapy Style
My clinical philosophy is one of pragmatism sprinkled with humor, based on treating each client as an individual with specific needs and empowering clients through education as well as introspection. I work collaboratively with each client to better understand and resolve challenges in their lives. By utilizing complementary therapy approaches and techniques along with a positive alliance with each client and colleagues, I work to transform and rework significant emotional experiences and family issues that may be holding clients back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
