About

I take a genuine, real life approach, utilizing various therapies, breaking them down so they are understandable and then relating it to the patient’s actual life, not hypothetical situations. In my experience, a majority of patients understand the necessary changes that need to be made to improve their lives, however there are significant barriers in their way that keep them from making those changes. ​These barriers are often not addressed in therapy, consequently hindering the patient from improving their quality of life. I address these barriers and work with the patient to aid and EMPOWER them to break through their obstacles.
