I tailor my methods to each individual's needs, frequently drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. My focus Working with clients of all ages has enhanced my insight and effectiveness. I address issues including divorce, anxiety and related disorders, trauma, parenting skills, depression, domestic issues, anger management, grief, friendship/social skills, family relationships, communication skills, and more.
