“I care deeply about people and I am passionate about raising awareness of the importance of good mental health. Throughout my career I have chosen to employ an eclectic approach to therapy so clients can set therapy goals that are tailored to meet their individual needs, and I rely on evidence-based approaches when choosing therapeutic modalities and tools to help clients reach their goals. My personally held, deepest convictions, include an unconditional positive regard for people of all: ages, ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientation, gender identities, religions, and non-religious beliefs. I look forward to working with you and sharing your journey of self-discovery and healing.”
