My Focus Areas
My Therapy Style
I think therapy is a collaborative process that is unique to each individual. My goal is to support each of my clients in the way that they need me to. Sometimes this means teaching tools and techniques, sometimes this means exploring painful memories. Having honest conversations is foundational to the work we do. Honest doesn't always mean serious. It can involve humor and jokes, as long as it's real and genuine. I believe I work well with those who are willing to identify small steps and move forward despite how uncomfortable it is, in order to find peace.
