My personal approach is active and directive but acknowledges and respects the client as their own expert. I am a strengths-based clinician and passionate about working with clients through life transitions. My clients learn to trust themselves, accept and appreciate who they are, and learn to live with a sense of calm, hope, courage, strength and wisdom from their uniquely lived experience. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I use a systems-oriented, integrative approach. I bring assertiveness, honesty, and humor to my practice.
