Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My therapy technique is based on a humanistic approach, which is a focus on seeing the world through your eyes to foster growth, and resilience. You are the expert of your life, and my approach is to nurture that truth. I often reflect on the dimensions of wellness in session, and will utilize tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Sessions are currently being offered via teletherapy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You are free to express your thoughts, feelings, or desires without judgement here. We can work together to deepen insight, explore effective coping skills, and cultivate an awareness of personal fulfilment.
