More about Francesca

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC

My therapy style is solution-focused and strengths-based. I believe everyone has the inner resources for meaningful change. By collaboratively identifying goals, I empower clients to find practical solutions and take ownership of their therapeutic journey. I incorporate reality therapy to emphasize personal responsibility and the power of choice, and I integrate logotherapy to help clients discover meaning, build resilience, and foster self-awareness.
