My approach to therapy
I pull from different modalities because each client is different and requires different approaches. If you learn nothing else from me, you will learn mindfulness skills. I have training in DBT skills.
I believe people come to therapy because they want to create change in their lives. My clients are hungry for tools to improve their relationships as well as their work situations. I work with adults. Currently, I treat clients virtually, enabling them to engage in therapy in the comfort of their own homes.
What you can expect from me
We will get to know each other by completing an initial assessment. This is also an opportunity to ask questions about therapy or about me.
