Therapy Style
Therapy can be a place to reclaim your life and sense of self in order to thrive. When life gets difficult, it’s easy to end up feeling lost, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. In times like this, building our mental health is an important part of reclaiming ourselves and our lives.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I want to create a collaborative environment that supports your unique path towards personal well-being. I am experienced in a wide variety of therapy models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), humanistic, strength-based, trauma-informed and solution-focused styles. It is important to me that you feel respected, heard and supported in your personal choices while in therapy. I want to provide an environment where you feel both respected and supported to honestly evaluate yourself without fear of judgment.
