I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and value creating this strong therapeutic bond with my clients. I am dedicated to helping you build resilience, develop coping skills, and improve your overall well-being.
I combine practical, skill-based solutions with relational work utilizing a variety of techniques including cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and creative interventions like art and play in therapy sessions. This allows me to tailor the therapy experience to each individual's unique needs and preferences.
