Approach to Therapy:
I utilize strengths-based approaches to help empower and uplift my clients to work towards reaching their goals and dreams while utilizing various therapeutic theories to help provide evidence-based skills and strategies to cope with difficult life and mental health challenges. I believe the client is always the expert in their own experiences and understand that sometimes we all need a helping hand.

My goal in this process is to walk alongside you on this journey.
Approach to Wellness:
My approach to wellness is to find balance between various sectors of selfcare. I find wellness in my life by taking care of my emotional, physical, spiritual, and inner-child needs through various means such as play, mindfulness, and therapy of my own. A few ways I practice wellness are by connecting with plants and dirt, and spending time with my animals.
