Welcome! Taking the step to begin therapy is a brave and positive choice, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. I specialize in individual, couples, and marriage therapy. My client-centered approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapy to help you navigate life's challenges and foster deeper connections. If you're ready to embark on a journey of personal growth, exploring your thoughts and creating healthy relationships in a safe space, let's chat and explore how I can support you.
I believe therapy is unique to every person and, therefore, the client should have an active role in their therapy by deciding the duration of their therapy and what they would like to focus on. I also utilize CBT to identify what thoughts might be hindering your ability to progress and use solution-focused therapy to help facilitate change.
I am a big advocate for open communication between both the therapist and client to create a safe environment, inviting, but most importantly, non-judgmental. This will allow the client to speak freely and for me, as the therapist, to actively listen and reflect to the client my understanding of what the client is trying to convey.
