Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I take a person-centered, strength-based approach to therapy
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I believe everyone has the power within to heal. Healing is a dynamic and reachable experience that, with help, everyone can find. I specialize working with LGBTQIA+, teens, adults, and people with disabilities.
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
Success in therapy means you're feeling better, understanding yourself more, handling challenges in healthier ways, and making meaningful changes in your thoughts, behaviors, or relationships. You'll know you're making progress when you start responding to situations differently, feel more emotionally balanced, and see improvements in the areas that brought you to therapy.
