Great to meet you!

I use a strength-based, holistic approach that emphasizes mindfulness and recognizes how trauma affects behavior and development. I prioritize your needs and encourage partnership when establishing and meeting your treatment goals.

I offer a nonjudgmental, client-centered approach. I'm patient and respect the time it takes to build trust. I believe words are powerful and help clients shift language patterns that feed negative thinking.

My approach to therapy

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, interpersonal, narrative, humanistic, and holistic approaches. These methods help you understand patterns, build on strengths, and create meaningful change in your life.

What you can expect from me

First sessions include assessments, psychoeducation, and space for you to share your perception of your needs and expectations. It's an opportunity to begin building our therapeutic relationship. Goal setting is collaborative. I use strength-based interventions to help you identify and work toward your personal and clinical goals, empowering you throughout the process.
