My Background and Approach

I use a client centered, strength based approach in assisting clients to meet their goals. The ability to apply compassionate care has helped each individual client with issues that supports them in meeting their needs. I use a therapeutic approach based on communication skills that include trauma informed care, cognitive behavioral practices, solution focused interventions and motivational interviewing. All stemming from a holistic person-centered approach. My professional experience has been working in clinical settings, residential settings, community settings as well as schools.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hold the strong belief that people are perfectly imperfect. They are beautiful and spectacular but can also become stuck, unhappy and unable to live a fulfilling life. That’s where I come in.
