I tailor my practice for each individual client. Some approaches I may use include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Strengths-Based, Motivational-Interviewing, and Internal-Family Systems.

My communication style

I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I will listen to the specific challenges you are facing.

My goals for you

My strengths are my ability to connect with others and my overall good intent for your well-being.

Our first session

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, getting to know each other, and then once you are comfortable, you can share the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
