We provide tools for helping you to change: changing perspective; changing behaviors; changing how you think; changing your life. I work hard to empower clients who have trusted me with their care to find solutions to their problems by building their own strengths and by focusing on new ways to behave and think. We move forward towards an improved life rather than dwelling on problems and the past.
