My therapeutic philosophy revolves around the belief that each individual possesses the wisdom and strength to overcome their challenges. As a therapist, I see myself as a facilitator, guiding you on a path of self-discovery and helping unlock your own inner resources and strength. This strengths-based, client-centered approach is going to look different for each person I work with and may require the use of different therapeutic modalities, which range from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic, and many others. My approach with you will be as unique as you are!
With 20+ years of experience in providing compassionate therapy to individuals and families with an eclectic approach deeply rooted in client-centered care, I believe in empowering you to navigate your unique journey towards healing and growth. I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and depression.
I believe myself to be a trusted ally for clients seeking support and positive change on their healing journey. My natural curiosity, and determination to create a judgement-free dynamic, in all interactions, has allowed great success in my clients reaching their therapeutic goals. I am very much looking forward to the same dynamic and results with you!
