I am deeply committed to the transformative power of therapy as the cornerstone of my treatment approach. While I maintain a multifaceted interest in human welfare, including the impacts of abuse and neglect, family engagement, parent training, and trauma throughout the lifespan, therapy remains central to my practice. Catering to children, young adults, individuals, and families, I utilize an integrated, person-centered methodology, infused with trauma-informed and multi-cultural perspectives.
I am passionate about supporting neurodiversity. My environment fosters compassion and unity, ensuring individuals and families are equipped to take on obstacles and flourish. Through my therapeutic lens, I prioritize attachment, foster open communication, and aim to mend relational emotional wounds.
Navigating life's challenges can often feel overwhelming, and every individual and family has their unique journey with its ups and downs. Remember, you're not alone in this, and seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Through therapy, we can collaborate to understand your unique situation, address emotional wounds, and pave a path forward.
