My approach to therapy
I use an integrative and person-centered approach. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family systems, and mindfulness. I will assist you in making the connections from the past that are inhibiting you from moving forward into the future. Together we can work in your sessions towards resolving past issues that are impeding your happiness. No issue is to scary if you face with someone , one step at a time.
What you can expect from me
I believe that supportive therapy using a cognitive behavior approach allows people to open up and try new approaches to their problems. Trauma informed care is a major component part of my practice, there are many issues that are rooted in trauma. Understanding your past helps you to face your tomorrows.
