“As a therapist, I am effective at empathic listening and responding to my clients needs. I am able to create an environment where children and adults feel safe to explore their feelings and face personal challenges successfully through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.”

My Approach and Values

I have over 20 years experience working with a culturally diverse clientele ranging in age from 4 to 70, in a wide array of therapeutic settings.
