Practice philosophy: I approach each client with an open, warm, non-judgmental stance, and use a variety of different treatment methods to best suit each individual client. Research has shown that the two most important factors for long-lasting positive change in therapy are the quality of the therapeutic relationship and empathy. Taking time to provide a safe, secure and comfortable environment is not only important, but also necessary so that you can feel secure in making positive change.

What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I enjoy getting to know people in my career and being adaptable to meet the needs of the people I work with.
