From a fundamental belief that everyone has the wisdom and knowledge to make a change in their lives, I take an individualized approach, working collaboratively with people to help them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. My work is primarily informed by Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Practice. I use these therapies in approaching areas of addictions, depression, anxiety, stress management, family relationships, and life transitions.
