Great to meet you!

Greetings! I am a person-centered therapist who is open-minded and always learning. I treasure my work and endeavor to meet my clients where they are. I have over a decade of experience working with children and their families, the addicted population, and those whose emotional disturbance necessitates residential care. I look forward to continued growth and the opportunity to expand my experience beyond its current level.

My approach to therapy

The Rogerian approach allows me to get to know my client, identifying acute issues and crisis manage while building rapport through active listening. My clients give me the indicators I need to first understand and then guide therapeutic interventions.

What you can expect from me

I will ask the individual to share with me the reason or reasons that bring them in to see me. I explore a variety of topics, as is part of the initial assessment, in a warm way to reduce anxiety and improve confidence in the introduction.
