My treatment approach is tailored to each individual's needs.  I begin with a comprehensive assessment and diagnostic evaluation.  I look at the whole person and consider the many factors that may influence health and well-being: family relationships, social network, work, recreation, nutrition, exercise, sleep, substance use, medical care and medications, traumatic or stressful experiences.  My approach in therapy is always relational, respectful, collaborative, calm, and hopeful.
