Approach to Treatment: "I believe that each individual is an expert in their own life and my job is to 'lead from behind.' I consider therapy a supportive collaboration between therapist and client. I do not see myself as the 'all knowing' expert, but rather a guide that helps a client rediscover their inner strengths in order to approach life's inevitable struggles with greater ease and confidence.
