34 years in practice
I am aware, trained and experienced in the many ways diversity presents itself, including geographical.
My therapeutic technique is rooted in my deep respect for all people. Since I am an expressive and inquisitive person, it comes naturally to me to practice a style of therapy that is both interactive and eclectic. I offer insights, observations, suggestions, feedback, as well as attentive listening. I am adaptable and able to adjust my style according to what works best for the client. As a team we work together to find creative solutions to overcome obstacles to growth and well-being.
