"I believe that clients have inherent strengths and abilities to solve whatever presenting problem they’re faced with; sometimes life’s obstacles and challenges get in the way of one’s ability to tap into those strengths. I approach every client through a strength-based lens to empower and help clients develop a more positive/hopeful perspective about the presenting issue causing distress at that time. I utilize a collaborative approach, working with clients to achieve set goals they wish to achieve and depending on those goals, so does the modality of therapy (individual, couple, parents, or family).
