Mind-body approach
I believe in nurturing your well-being from the inside out. Holistic therapies is understanding that the mind, body and soul are not separate. Individuals can experience self healing through improved physical health, reduced stress and anxiety, increase nutrition, energy, mental clarity, work life balance and a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment in life.
Strength-Based
I have extensive training and experience using strength Base in my 11+ years of providing therapy.

My hope is to discuss the patient’s problems is to discover the inner strengths so that the clients can tap into in order to build solutions.
