My clinical approach to working with teen and adult clients is to provide a safe as well as non-judgemental place to process difficult emotions and situations that may be hindering a healthy and balanced life. I work from a client centered and relationship based model allowing for optimal growth to shift the patterns that are causing you to feel stuck. This enables change, positivity, and renewed energy in your life. Some common reasons people seek therapy are; difficulties with peer relationships, depression, life transitions, stress, substance use, self esteem and body image, parenting, academic performance, and family conflict.
My office provides a quiet space for healing and self reflection. When you experience an environment that safe and unbiased, life stories and traumatic experiences can be processed to relieve internal conflict. I have been privileged to provide services in diverse collaborative settings including schools, clinics, and hospitals.
I approach my work with warmth and authenticity meeting adults, teens, and families where they are emotionally. Painful experiences can cause disconnect in relationships with peers and family hindering healthy development. Learning effective communication, healthy boundaries, and useful coping skills can bring the change you are looking for in life.
