Therapy can often be initially awkward or even bring out a vulnerability in the client. I believe it is important to develop trust and rapport very early to make the client feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Once trust is established, we work together to set goals and establish coping skills to handle struggles you might be faced with. Every client’s situation is unique and that would determine my therapeutic approach. I often draw from an eclectic treatment approach such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy and incorporate Mindfulness and elements of Play Therapy.

Do you have to force yourself to get through the day? Do you feel disconnected from your life, as if just going through the motions? Familial and cultural conditioning often cast us in limiting roles.

I help clients build an awareness to the relationship they have with themselves starting by identifying the character traits they've strengthened in order to survive. This ultimately allows them to move towards more self-compassion, peace, freedom, and purpose in their lives.
