My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion-focused, person-centered, and strength’s-based perspectives. I view therapy as a collaborative process, where you are the leader of your treatment, as you are the expert of your own life.
I hold space for people to share their lived experience so we can come up with a personalized plan to address your mental health needs. It’s a collaborative approach with the goal of you navigating life from a grounded and confident place.

Your current coping may have helped you survive, "a way out of no way." We start with self-compassion and curiosity about what's not working for you. We'll focus on small positive actions and consider new perspectives.
