My philosophy is that therapy should be flexible, holistic, and adaptive. Effective therapy focuses on prioritizing the client's perspective, needs, and goals. It is a collaborative client-led process supported by a strong therapeutic relationship. My approach to therapy is person-centered and strengths-based. I strive to provide a safe space where clients feel heard, supported, and valued. I focus on identifying, harnessing, and building on client strengths and resources. My goal is to help clients cultivate a positive mindset, foster well-being, develop resilience, and gain confidence to achieve positive, sustainable change.
I specialize in working with adults coping with a variety of mental health concerns. I use a client-centered, integrated approach in therapy, incorporating facets of CBT, DBT, MI, Strengths-based Therapy, and Mindfulness-based Therapy to assist clients in their journey to self-discovery, healing, and growth.
Through my education in clinical psychology, work in community mental health clinics, and my own life experiences, I have developed a deep appreciation for the transformative power of therapy. It is my goal to make a positive difference in the lives of those who seek support. I welcome the opportunity to assist you on your journey to well-being.
