Often times it can be nerve racking to share a part of yourself with someone new which is why it is important to me that we cultivate a safe space for you during our first meeting. After your first session, we'll discuss your goals and what you hope to get out of our time together. I'll help you identify areas of your life that you want to work on and come up with actionable steps that you can take to make progress. We'll work together to develop strategies to overcome any obstacles that may arise and help you make lasting positive changes in your life.

My approach to therapy is primarily centered around the individual because I firmly believe that you are the foremost authority on yourself. I see you as the key driver of change and progress towards achieving your goals. In my experience, therapy works best when it is tailored to your unique needs, preferences, and experiences. In addition to my person-centered approach, I also draw upon various evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
