I believe that understanding one's perception is essential to understanding one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

I approach the therapeutic relationship from a client-centered lens with an integrative treatment approach. This means that I work with each client to develop a unique treatment plan to address their specific needs. I do not utilize a one size fits all approach and I believe that the client is just as important in this process as the therapist is. I examine all aspects of a client’s perspective including the systems that impact them. Treating the whole person is an important aspect for me in my therapeutic engagement with clients. I believe that every person has value and is worthy of kindness.

Life can be hard. It can be even more difficult to ask for help in managing life’s daily struggles. I believe that anybody can benefit from participating in therapy, regardless of what life experiences you have had. Whether you feel like your problems are large or small, they are equally as valid and deserving of assistance in helping resolve them. I help people uncover what might be getting in the way of authentic and meaningful living.
