Prior to working with St. Jerome, she was an office manager at a nonprofit in Washington DC whose mission is to create cultures free from violence. Her theoretical orientation is eclectic in nature. The techniques and intervention strategies are based primarily on the unique needs of her clients and tailored to meet those needs. Her focus is Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Existential, Emotion Focused, and Solution Focused therapy approaches when working with individuals. She employs techniques from a Structural, Contextual, and Multigenerational perspective when working with families. However, each client is different, and choices in interventions will be specific to the needs within the family system and the needs of the individual client.
