My communication style

I use a Person-centered therapeutic approach to provide a nonjudgmental atmosphere led by the client to assist them with discovering solutions and increasing awareness of their negative thinking and unhelpful behaviors. I use a Cognitive Behavioral approach to provide tools that can be applied to manage unhealthy thinking and behavioral patterns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a deep commitment to helping others overcome difficulties and manage their emotions, in an effort to work towards creating solutions to help them move forward to achieve their goals. I believe in fostering an atmosphere of trust and support, wherein clients are encouraged to be open about the behavioral, emotional, or social difficulties.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative. We establish specific, achievable, and relevant goals together that guide and structure our therapeutic journey.

Our first session

Any new beginning comes with a bit of anxiety, but learning more about what to expect can ease your nerves. Therapy can involve unearthing many things your brain has worked hard to bury, the painful memories & feelings. When you begin therapy, you may find the floodgates opening, but we will navigate the process together.
