It’s my belief to “Keep it simple.” Life is stressful enough. Balancing work, family, social life, friends, and relationships can be overwhelming at times. I practice from a harm reduction holistic theoretical orientation. It combines person-centered (respect for autonomy) with systemic therapy (a critical look at culture and attachments). By identifying wants and needs, I can assist clients with locating triggers and establishing healthy coping skills to alleviate any mental, emotional, or physical stress. I have worked particularly with clients dealing with mother guilt, work/life balance, sexuality, and accountability. I have experience providing services to couples, individuals, and families. I value the importance of creating a supportive and collaborative relationship throughout the therapy process. I do this by providing an empowering and warm space for clients to embrace their values and beliefs’. I focus on clients self-awareness to construct healthier boundaries. Difficult ex
