"As a social worker I take a hollistic approach to helping clients with a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

"In my practice I take a collaborative approach with adult clients. Together we seek balance, change and acceptance. These factors contribute to achievement of pleasure and fulfillment in life and relationships. My strength is that I incorporate the theory of cognitive therapy with the concept that past experiences and interactions have an influence on current beliefs and behavioral patterns. Through this approach, I am able to come to a more complete conceptualization and establish trust and rapport with my clients which enables them to engage in the therapeutic process more fully.

Life is messy, love is hard and work is bullshit, excuse my french. Therapy shouldn't be a one size fits all, and being comfortable with the person across from you matters.
