Families and individuals today are facing numerous challenges that prevent them from enjoying life's simple pleasures. I'm passionate about guiding individuals through their journeys toward healing and self-discovery. My experience in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, behavioral problems, grief, body image issues, and addiction has equipped me with a deep understanding and empathy for the diverse challenges my clients face.
I utilize Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy is working with the clients that I serve. I believe in empowering clients to find healthy coping skills, stress management tools, and alternative or replacement activities to reach their goals. At the core of my practice is a person-centered approach, where I prioritize the unique needs of each individual.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with adolescents, children, and adults of all ages, which has enriched me with a wide range of perspectives and experiences. This diversity has deepened my understanding and has allowed me to tailor my approach to suit the specific needs of each age group.
I am committed to providing a compassionate, understanding, and safe space where clients can openly explore their thoughts and feelings. Together, we can find ways to manage challenges that work for you.
