As a psychologist, I work with individuals to help them live their lives more fully and authentically. The core of my approach is establishing and maintaining a warm, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and supportive relationship with clients. I believe it's important to foster an atmosphere of mutual respect and safety where we can thoughtfully consider your experience. I'll aim to understand your difficulties and the ways in which those challenges impact your life.

My approach to the counseling relationship is non judgmental and open. I hope to create an environment of safety and acceptance. The goal of the relationship is to establish trust and I do so by coming alongside the client instead of pushing or pulling them to a place they are not yet comfortable. My natural way of being with the client is very bubbly, positive and incorporating laughter into therapy, while helping my clients feel heard. I view the counseling process as a collaborative approach between you & I, and that there is no universal approach to therapy.
