Philosophy:
I practice psychotherapy from a family systems perspective. I am an open and affirming Psychologist with significant training in Christian ministry and theology. I work with patients to help them secure their life goals; to identify and become the person they wish to be in life; to establish and maintain a sense of self-esteem; and to develop healthy boundaries with family and friends.
