Great to meet you!

I am here to help you and families restore their mental health and relationships one session at a time through individual work or family work.

My approach to therapy

My approach is bringing my personality into the session (warm, funny, direct, and creative) all at the same time. I am mindful of when to allow clients to finish talking or when to drop an intervention. I follow clients pace but I am not afraid to gently challenge them. I love CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) but I am also inquisitive to help you gain your own conclusions, which stems from psychodynamic therapy. I like to do deeper work while still giving you conclusions to help you bring forth the transformation and change you are seeking.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect following a set of questions I have and focusing the rest of the time of, "so what brings you in?". No interventions are made in the first session, simply getting to know you and setting your treatment goals.
