My approach

Our work is a collaborative endeavor, centered on your needs and your goals. We will work together to set goals and approaches that help you to grow and heal. I employ Individual Psychology, Positive Psychology, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among others, to help clients find clarity on the challenges they face, and to develop tools for meeting their goals. In all of our work together, your perspective and goals will shape the therapies we choose.
