Approach to Therapy:
My therapeutic style aims to empower clients holistically, using a mix of methods including CBT, DBT, and art therapy, while understanding that social issues like capitalism, racism, sexism, gender identity and sexuality can affect one’s life and mental health. My goal is to make clients feel welcome and safe as we collaborate on strategies that can be used to better long-term mental, social, and emotional health.
Approach to Wellness:
As a mentor once told me, “Every good therapist has a good therapist.” I strive to learn and grow my skills as a mental health clinician every day, while making sure that I use the methods and strategies that I teach my clients. I enjoy walking my dogs, reading, writing and doing yoga to unwind.
