My counseling style always begins with building rapport in order to create a safe space for any individual to feel comfortable during their most vulnerable moments. I believe in being non-judgemental, respectful and warm in my approach to working with individuals. I incorporate a variety of evidenced based practices to foster an open therapeutic relationship for you to express your thoughts, feelings, and challenges you may be experiencing. I am a compassionate and empathetic social worker who will use a strengths based approach to help you discover your strengths and process through life’s many challenges.

My therapeutic techniques combine the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, Mindfulness and Client-Centered. It would be an honor to work with you and I look forward to meeting you.
