I am an empowerment centered, strengths-based therapist. I draw from training and expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Humanistic Therapies and EMDR. All work is focused  on client-centered collaboration. Another way of saying this is that I believe in the human capacity to increase self awareness, choose acceptance, increase psychological flexibility and to utilize essential tools and skills. This work is not just what I choose to do; I see it as what I'm here to do.
