Personal Statement

Hi there! I have experience working with all age ranges and backgrounds. I have worked in many settings including private practice, in-home therapy, group counseling, as well as in-patient facilities. I have experience with a wide variety of symptoms and situations including feeling depressed, relationship difficulties, mood swings, anxiety, trauma, psychosomatic issues, family stress, and psychosis. I use many different styles of treatment with my clients, depending on personal needs and responsiveness to treatment.

Typically I am a Solution-Focused thinker who believes that people are doing the best they can with what they have; therefore, the goal of therapy is to provide clients with ways to emphasize their resources to be able to find solutions to their own situations.
