About
My therapeutic approach is warm, casual, authentic, encouraging, and collaborative and I believe in using a strength based approach to assist clients in overcoming obstacles. I'm committed to helping clients identify goals, and provide the tools and skills necessary to reach those goals.
Overall, I feel that building unique, purposeful, and trusting relationships with clients is what I enjoy most about being a therapist, and consider it an honor to be part of the journey.
With over 15 years experience, I am skilled in various therapeutic approaches including IFS, CBT, DBT, Self Psychology, Client-Centered Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.
