My experience has allowed me to work with people from all over the world with both chronic and minor mental health concerns. As a clinician I have worked with people who have depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, (PTSD)trauma and a history of family violence. My approach is primarily cognitive behavioral with a significant emphasis on the person's present. Those who would benefit are people who are looking at moving forward with their life with more deliberation and direction. Moving away from seeing themselves as the result of their circumstances but as the master of their being. I focus on changing an imbedded pattern of thinking in an individual. By changing the individual's "thought reflex", they find that they are able to achieve a greater sense of focus in life. They will see their life more open with endless possibilites. Most clients find that I come from a non-judgemental approach and an understanding of cultural, religious and familial frameworks. This helps those persons who come from varied and unique backgrounds wanting someone who will understand them.
