She emphasizes usable techniques and skills that promote ongoing growth, and she brings a compassionate, strengths-focused stance to working with topics such as relationships, family concerns, mood challenges, stress, and life transitions. Her work is aimed at helping people use their abilities, explore possibilities, and find resolutions that lead to healthier, more fulfilling living.
