Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist, master credentialed substance abuse counselor and board certified naturopathic holistic nutritionist. My practice approach draws upon my diverse training and experience in CBT, DBT, stress reduction, and holistic nutrition. I utilize the most contemporary treatments available in mental healthcare to effectively treat my clients and bring about positive change in their lives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I also utilize client-centered therapy which strives to create the conditions needed for clients to develop positive change. This involves a therapeutic environment that is comfortable, non-judgmental, and empathetic. Genuineness and congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding are most essential elements to help clients grow psychologically. The techniques used in this approach are all focused on helping you reach a more realistic view of yourself and the world.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy helps you gain a different perspective on problems and issues. It provides a safe, non-judgmental and respectful environment. I can help you regain wellbeing and balance in your life if given the opportunity. Subsequently, together we will start building a trusting and therapeutic alliance which will set realistic goals and expectations.
