My therapeutic approach is rooted in Person-Centered therapy in which the relationship between client and clinician is a priority and is based in mutual trust and respect, empathy and congruence. I use integrative techniques in every session to meet the unique needs of each client, such as CBT, trauma-informed therapy and mindfulness-based therapy. I believe that individuals are experts on themselves and because of this I take a collaborative approach in working with clients, utilizing what is known as Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) to get client input in evaluating progress and clients’ needs.
I see adults of all ages for a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, stress management and life transitions.
Seeking professional help is courageous and it would be an honor to help you on your journey to emotional wellness.
