Get To Know Me
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
First, we will work together to uncover the root causes of your challenges and understand the patterns holding you back. Long-term, we focus on developing practical, everyday strategies that bring steady stability back into your routine, helping you feel genuinely grounded.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My therapeutic approach is integrative, strength-based, and trauma-focused. This means I blend evidence-based treatments to fit exactly what you need in the moment, balancing insight to understand your past with action to support your present.
