General Comments:
The process of engaging in therapy not only happens during the appointment; rather it’s designed to translate outside of the treatment room. My goal in working with individuals is to aid them in acquiring a collection of tools that promotes healthy, fruitful and rewarding lives. I am dedicated to evaluating the needs of each individual, child, adolescent and family, acknowledging that each person is unique, with a number of strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, I work from a collaborative perspective, with an appreciation that therapy is most effective when the client and therapist work together as a team.
