Therapy style
I specialize in systems theory and family dynamics and have a strong love for community and cultural matters. My belief is that people are the experts of their own lives. My goal in therapy is to assist my clients in reflecting upon their life choices, release pain associated with emotional scars, and to provide safe space for restoration. I have many years of experience in the field, and have worked with several populations and clinical settings. My primary population is adults, however, I have plenty of experience in working with youth and young adults.
