My Therapy Style

I believe that we are all capable of positive growth when provided with a warm, non-judgmental, and safe environment to explore what has led you to therapy. If you're searching for a therapist, it probably means that you are looking for new coping skills and tools to enhance your life. In therapy, we will work towards your unique goals for personal growth and well-being. I use supportive techniques and cognitive behavioral approaches to increase emotional understanding, identify negative cognitive and behavioral patterns, and develop and strengthen positive coping skills. Together, we will identify your strengths to empower you to face life's challenges and live a meaningful life.
