Personal Statement

I bring a nonjudgmental compassionate approach to care that is collaborative in nature. I tailor care to the individual or family while gaining a deep understanding of their desires for change. Together, we build a professional clinical relationship built on trust, respect and honesty as we explore their thoughts, feelings and patterns of behavior to achieve goals based on their values.
