What is your approach to counseling and psychotherapy?
I have been trained in a number of theories.

My approach is humanistic and interpersonal. I work with social anxiety, depression, anxiety, work stress, relationship issues, codependency, loss, and life transitions such as marriage or moving in, retiring, new child in the family, or moving to a new geographical area.
