Work HistoryI often use a client-centered approach where we focus on creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can freely express your emotions and concerns. My role is to actively listen, empathize, and help you explore your own thoughts and feelings without imposing my own interpretations or solutions. Treatment will lead you down a path of self-discovery, empowerment, and personal growth tailored to your unique experiences and needs. As a therapist, I prioritize building trust and rapport to facilitate open communication about my clients’ unique experiences and concerns. My goal is to equip adolescents and young adults with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate issues such as self-esteem, relationships, identity formation, academic or career stressors, and emotional regulation. Central to my practice is a genuine, fun, and encouraging demeanor that allows me to connect authentically with young people. My approach blends empathy and insight, creating a safe space for adolescents to explore their emotions and navigate complex issues such as identity formation, academic stress, and social relationships. I am dedicated to building strong, supportive relationships with my clients and their families, addressing both emotional and practical needs.
