My passion lies in empowering adults to achieve their mental health and healing goals. As a certified Cognitive Therapist, I draw from a diverse toolkit that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Humanistic and Client-Centered approaches, incorporating Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Training. My therapy approach fosters a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable and heard. With a down-to-earth and interactive style, I collaborate with you to find the path to your well-being.
