Philosophy of Care
Working with clients in a supportive way to help make lasting change. I believe in a systems approach where by we try to stabilize clients in families, home , and other places that impact their lives. I think of us has a team with the client and me working together. I say I have many tools in my tool box, we just have to work together to find out what works for them.

My focus in trauma based therapies, as well as polyvagal and Neuropshycological approaches.
