I am a licensed therapist committed to helping others heal, grow, and develop deeper self awareness. I believe one's experience in therapy should be safe, supportive, and non-judgmental. I strive to make my office a compassionate, and welcoming environment that promotes growth, self-exploration and healing. My clinical approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I customize treatment to each individual, as I believe each person comes to therapy with their own unique strengths, experiences, and needs. I routinely ask for feedback to ensure my clients are getting the most out of their time in therapy.
My counseling style is eclectic, but some interventions I commonly use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Compassion Focused Therapy. I love helping my clients cultivate self confidence, and emotional resilience so they can navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about therapy, my treatment philosophies, or my services. You are so important, and you deserve a safe, and comfortable therapeutic experience that meets your unique needs.
