I am a firm believer that in life, we are all trying our best, and that ‘best’ can look different for everyone. No matter what your ‘best’ currently looks like, therapy aims to provide a supportive and secure environment where you can delve into your thoughts and emotions, confront challenges, and discover new ways to cope and thrive. As your therapist, I am intentional about creating a safe space for you to come as you are.

In my therapeutic approach, I draw from Adlerian psychology, which focuses on understanding the connection between our life experiences and it’s impacts on our current identity. This framework allows us to work together towards your objectives, which can involve creating meaningful goals aligned with your values, cultivating resilience, and taking ownership of your personal growth journey. I also integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused modalities when appropriate to enhance the therapeutic process.

When working with children, I approach therapy using a combination of play therapy modalities. Play is a natural medium for children to explore and resolve cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges they may face. I work to create a safe and nurturing environment for the child while collaborating closely with parents to ensure alignment on therapeutic goals.
