My Approach
I believe that mental health services should be both holistic and personalized. I am mostly psycho-dynamic oriented but with all things, this orientation is fluid, and I try my best to tailor mental health services to a client's own needs and wants. I also believe that mental health, cultural background, and social justice are intricately linked, and I encourage clients to bring those topics to the table.
