I help you with the care you deserve.
My goal: Transforming mental healthcare
My mission is to provide effective and innovative therapeutic services to individuals and their families.
I build resilience, hope, and wellbeing to all those we serve through services that foster healthy living and self-sufficiency.
A personal approach
I use an integrated theoretical approach that is based on family systems therapy and incorporates solution-focused and interpersonal process theory to help persons I work with meet their goals and make positive change. This type of therapy is client-centered, works closely on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, and helps people understand underlying issues that impacts one’s life and prevents one from resolving problems easily. I believe that therapy can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, but should also be genuine and involve humor and fun. Together, I guide my clients toward self-discovery and meaningful solutions to their problems to help each person live a productive, fulfilling, and happy life.
