Credentials & Focus Areas
No single counseling style fits everyone. I utilize an integrated, evidence-based clinical toolkit
customized to your specific personality, goals, and history.

A collaborative, goal-oriented method to strengthen personal motivation and commitment to change.
Focusing on strengths, virtues, and factors that enable individuals and communities to truly thrive.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy to identify, challenge, and replace self-defeating beliefs.
