My approach I have a person-centered approach and maintain a non-judgmental stance. I am resolution-focused yet compassionate, using an eclectic situational framework tailored to each client’s needs. My focus I assist adult clients with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship or workplace issues, low self-esteem, and spiritual development. My communication style I strive to create a casual, soft, open, relaxed, and comforting environment. My tone and style are generally non-confrontational.
