Meet Leonardo

While I use a variety of interventions, there are universal elements in my approach. I focus on the client-therapist relationship, emphasize the here and now while honoring personal history, and incorporate goal setting as a key part of therapy. My experience, education, and training have shaped an eclectic and integrative approach, tailored to each person’s needs.
