- LCSW
My goal as a therapist is to assist people in achieving fulfillment and empowerment in their lives. Sessions aim to create a genuine, safe and supportive environment for people to feel comfortable expressing themselves. I utilize a therapeutic approach that promotes a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. I have specific training in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy interventions which I use with people I work with in resolving their current and future problems.
