I believe in the power of building self-awareness and taking action. I am passionate about empowering my clients in making intentional choices to improve their overall wellness and quality of life. I have a direct, solution-oriented approach, which aids individuals in addressing behaviors and thought processes that impact their lives in a way that does not work for them in the present. Ultimately, I guide my clients to building resiliency, self-compassion, and adaptive skills to accept those challenges and pains which naturally come throughout life.
My philosophy focuses on building a respectful, honest, and collaborative relationship with my clients. I believe each client is the expert on themselves and their needs. My personal areas of expertise include a holistic and eclectic approach using mindfulness and trauma informed, and value driven approaches.
Through providing a warm, safe, and supportive therapeutic space, my hope is to help individuals identify their own goals for therapy and guide them in managing hurdles in their life. I believe we cannot address challenges in life in isolation, and I hope to offer the support needed to overcome any challenges in life.
