My approach to therapy is collaborative. I aim to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to be open and vulnerable. I believe in transparency and allowing you to have full say in your treatment and I strive to meet you where you are.
My treatment utilizes cognitive behavior therapy and strengths based perspective, allowing you to focus on positive skills that that will assist you in achieving your goals. My hope is that you can reach an optimal sense of self which will allow you to navigate life’s stressors and live your best life.
