I believe that creating a safe, appreciative, and collaborative atmosphere is paramount in therapy. I am passionate about helping people explore their authentic selves, connect with their inner strengths, and use these strengths to create the changes that they desire. I believe people can use strengths and resources to not only overcome obstacles, but also to continually push themselves to achieve their ambitions. I love helping people embrace a growth mindset, view setbacks as opportunities for growth, and continuously strive towards being their best selves.
I work from a person- centered approach, and also draw from a variety of modalities. These include narrative therapy, CBT, mindfulness, solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and movement. I believe that movement and physical activity are powerful tools for grounding, bringing ourselves to the present, and connecting with our authentic power.
I look forward to collaborating with you on this journey to connect with your authentic self and utilize your inner strength to navigate through challenges and reach your potential.
