I use compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based approach with all clients. I often work from a systemic-based lens, where I look at both internal and outside factors that may be contributing to client's experience.
Here's the deal – you're not alone and you are worthy of more. We all have struggles, but that doesn't mean we're hopeless. It is possible to reclaim your life, discover self, identify and resonate with your values, creating purpose and fulfillment.

I utilize a conceptualized approach focused on the here and now. I believe therapy doesn't have to mean cutting yourself open and bleeding out all of your vulnerabilities. Rather, is a navigating the pieces of your past and present.
Together, we will explore your values and redefine your relationship with these stories in order to discover what possibilities exist beyond their limiting functions.

My approach is trauma-informed and relational. This means I explore how one's past can impact one's present. Most of all, I am captured by the stories people share and use them to help clients understand their lives in greater detail and context.
Together, we will hold each other accountable. We will work on your therapy goals, which we create together. We will very regularly and insightfully check in with our progress, homework, successes and challenges to make your therapy most effective.

What makes me unique is I use constant feedback to keep track of our progress together. I let myself rise to this challenge, since alliance and feedback increase effectiveness in therapy. I use various eclectic therapeutic strategies.
