As a therapist, I am strength-based. I am comitted to creating hope and change by helping my clients focus on the positive, the effective, and the reasonable solutions that are available. Thus, I believe that it is my job to ensure that the therapy session balances problems with solutions and percieved faults with percieved strengths.I value the importance of understanding multi-cultural issues when counseling clients. I began my clinical work at Hospice Austin where I provided individual/group grief and loss counseling. I was also director of Camp Braveheart a free therapeutic/ recreational camp for children who have lost a loved one.
