Personally and professionally, I had to overcome many obstacles to see my ambitions through. It is for these reasons that I developed an inclination towards assisting people to meet their goals and address their own concerns within therapy. For those that are feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, I’m willing to meet you where you are at within your unique journey.
Methods utilized are not one size fits all and depending on the goals of the session, I will work alongside you to determine the best treatment plan. I’m comfortable utilizing DBT, and Prolonged Exposure (for trauma) if you are unsure of where to begin.
Coming from a diverse background allows me to maintain the holistic and humanistic perspective while remaining nonjudgmental, compassionate, and empathetic as a clinician. I am honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with you and look forward to forming a therapeutic alliance.
