I take a collaborative approach to therapy, working alongside clients to understand their experiences and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. I believe that therapy can help clients build skills to move toward meaningful, lasting change, while creating a life that feels aligned with their values.
I approach therapy with empathy and curiosity. I believe clients are the experts in their own life, and my job is to help the client meet their goals pertaining to their mental health, so they can improve their quality of life.
We will work together every step of the way. From building therapeutic rapport, to learning what brought you to therapy, treatment planning (i.e., what is your goal or intention for therapy).
