Therapy Style
I believe that therapy is a journey on which the client and therapist embark together to promote awareness, personal growth, and mental well-being. Thus, my therapy style is collaborative, supportive, compassionate, client-centered, and strength-based. I use an eclectic approach to therapy that focuses on the needs of the client and suits their therapeutic goals.
My interests and areas of specialty are, but are not limited to working with adults and young adults on issues of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, life transitions, career stress, burnout, self-esteem, and personal growth.
