Therapy Style
I believe in providing my clients with a safe and nurturing environment, in a space where being your authentic self can be a guide towards healing and personal growth. I have extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I have worked with individuals struggling with substance abuse, victims of domestic violence, veterans, teens, adults, couples, and families.
The therapeutic alliance is the pillar of the therapeutic process and growth. Having worked in this field for almost a decade, I believe my greatest strength is the ability to connect and empathize with my clients while building on their life skills. I look forward to our journey working together.
