My Background and Approach
I use a trauma informed approach to guide my work with all clients. I don't strictly adhere to one therapeutic modality. Each person and each relationship is unique. I often draw from solution focused therapy, narrative therapy, concepts from the Gottman Method and EFT. My goal is to assist you in increasing your pleasure and quality of life.
