Great to meet you!

I have had many years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children with a multitude of needs. I take an integrative, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach. I incorporate various evidence-based practices tailored to individual needs. I feel passionate about supporting clients in navigating challenges and working toward their goals.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Since the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest factors of success in therapy, our work will begin by building a strong therapeutic relationship. My role is to help guide you on your journey. I believe that therapists learn from their clients as they are the experts in their lives. Together, we will explore your expectations for treatment, collaboratively identify/explore your goals, and create a plan for our work.

What you can expect from our first session

My role as a therapist is to guide, support, and help clients build awareness of their feelings. I believe that, through therapy, people can help understand their emotions, experiences, and inner strengths, which will help guide them in the right direction.
