I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each person. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. In addition to being an established child, adolescent and family therapist, I have presented at conferences and to general audiences speaking on topics of child welfare, public policy and "Emptying Your Emotional Trashcan."
