My approach is relational, client-centered and strength based.

I am passionate about joining with you on your healing journey! Through creativity, compassion and a reliance on to your values, I can help your illuminate strengths and embrace a life of growth and self-realization.

My approach to therapy

I am trained Humanistic psychotherapist. I specialize in Drama Therapy which uses theatrical principles in a therapy setting which often brings about profound results for clients. My approach in in formed by evidence based practices like CBT and ACT. Finally, I pull from other theoretical principles focused on an affirming approach and anti-oppression including Supportive Therapy, Liberation Psychology.
