My Approach

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone that walks through my door. One of the most important aspects to therapy is building a strong and trusting relationship between client and therapist. I provide a caring and supportive relationship to clients to help them grow and change in positive ways. I am passionate about helping clients to discover and build resiliency as they move through challenges in life. I understand that therapy is not a one-size fits all, I use a variety of different therapeutic modalities to help set goals that best fit you.
