As an eclectic therapist, I use holistic knowledge from my different certifications and evidence based practices to ensure treatment is applicable to each client. This approach allows tailoring of the counseling experience for client’s best self, by mixing interventions such as ACT, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Mindfulness, and Communication Skills. My naturally investigative and assertive characteristics allow me to explore and find what is best suited for the client’s needs at the time.
My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space with genuine non-judgmental support for clients to heal & grow. My counseling style is holistic, empathetic, and relaxed. Im best fit for those seeking a therapist that's willing to keep client accountable for their choices & those ready to unlearn what’s no longer healthy or helpful.
Healing can be complicated and even confusing, making you feel vulnerable in the moment, which can be scary. Learning to unlearn negative thinking & bad habits can be hard without proper guidance and support. Support, as well as practicing skills outside of session, increases the possibility of positive changes staying with you.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Socratic questioning the most but incorporate other types like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Energy Psychology to best tailor the therapeutic experience to the individual and foster the mind-body connection. Every person is uniquely different and their therapy should be as well.
