I became a social worker to help others. My main goal in therapy is to help clients achieve their goals and assist them in becoming more resourceful. My approach to therapy is focused on helping individuals and families identify and utilize their personal and collective strengths. I strive to build collaborative relationships in a safe and supportive environment, so that we can work together to develop insights and solutions to the problems that arise.
