I don't believe in labeling people and also feel it is important to provide resources and recommendations (books, workbooks,therapeutic assignments etc.), I would describe my approach as eclectic; combing solution focused , cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psycho-dynamic therapy. I'll individualize our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek help and take the first steps in obtaining that help and start making changes. I am here to support and assist you in that process. I look forward to helping you help yourself!
