As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25+ years experience working within the public health sector, I successfully treated individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, and psychosis. My approach is grounded in The Strengths Based Treatment Model as I believe the best way to heal is by drawing upon the inherent strengths we already possess. My years of management experience has also prepared me to address work/life balance, job-related stress and burnout.
