Approach to Therapy:
I believe therapy is a collaborative process that begins with meeting each client where they are at. Coming from a place of authenticity, I draw from multiple methods including CBT, DBT, and strengths-based perspectives. My goal is to facilitate a strong, therapeutic environment that eases one into the experience, which allows space for vulnerability and courage to safely explore client’s areas of concern.
Approach to Wellness:
I practice intentionality when it comes to work/life balance. I approach wellness through a mindfulness lens that focuses on mind/body connection. I enjoy going for walks, listening to podcasts, or a guided meditation. Additionally, I enjoy being present with my family and friends whether it’s grabbing a cup of coffee at a local shop or exploring a local farmers market.
