Person-centered therapy allows her to view each client as unique, valued, and worthy of unconditional acceptance; this is the foundation of her therapeutic work. She blends play therapy techniques and CBT interventions as appropriate to fit the needs of each individual. She believes that through the guidance of these theories, both therapist and client can work together to help promote a happier and healthier self.
