The care you deserve

My treatment approaches include Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral theories from a strength-based perspective, but I also value the ability to tailor treatment to an individual/family's needs. Clients would describe my clinical approach as direct and compassionate, combined with a strong sense of humor.
