MY APPROACH TO THERAPY

I employ a holistic, client-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed approach to therapy, with a focus on hopefulness, laughter, and artistic creative expression. I draw upon the eclectic perspectives and techniques of various therapeutic models and tailor your treatment to honor your specific needs and presenting symptoms to support your mental health goals and objectives. I believe that each person has the ability within themselves to channel their greatest strengths and achieve their goals and life objectives. I see therapy as a clinical partnership between client and therapist, and the client holds keys to unlocking their full potential. I see my role as a therapist as helping each client find those keys within themselves using various holistic techniques and with strength-based supports. Think of me as a guide/sidekick on your journey to increase your mental health stability and wellness. Essentially, my hope is that our partnership can help you find your way to become the HERO of your own STORY.
