Therapy can and will look different for every individual. Therapy is hard work, and also fun and rewarding. My approach to therapy is evidence-based and tailored to your needs and goals, which may change and pivot over the course of therapy.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify any negative thinking patterns and help to challenge those thoughts. We will work to identify healthy coping skills to manage what ever you are faced with.

I have a nondirective therapeutic style. I let my clients lead what they want to explore and talk about in session. I include the creative process and art making as an important tool for self expression and explorations of emotions.
