I also have experience working with individuals with various mental health diagnoses. I use a solution-focused approach to therapy that is future-oriented and goal-directed. I also take a system's perspective, meaning that I believe all individuals are influenced in one way or another by those who are close to them. For this reason, I believe in the importance of the family and I welcome the opportunity to include as many family members as possible in the treatment process. I also understand the importance of one-on-one time, however, and provide individual treatment if preferred.
