I believe in order to have total healing and complete growth, individuals must focus on treating all parts of themselves as a whole. This holistic approach includes looking within and at all areas of one's life (physical, mental, emotional, spirtual, etc.) I provide consultations and counseling/psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults and advocates. My main therapeutic approaches are Holistic and Cognitive-Behavioral. However, the therapeutic approach chosen will be client centered and problem focused on the issues experienced by the client to assist the client in reaching the most favorable outcomes, growth and healing.
