I exhibit a compassionate and non-judgemental mode of relating inconjuntion with an empathic, change-oriented philosophy. I offer art psychotherapy as well as verbal-talk therapy. My therapeutic interventions tend to oscillate between the two modalities based on what each patient needs.

I believe in the power of building on each person/couple's strengths and discovering, through a collaborative approach, new ways to adapt and grow.
