Wellness Through Connection
I ground my therapeutic work in unconditional positive regard, honoring the full spectrum of human experience. I use an integrative approach, meaningfully drawing from several evidence-based schools of therapy that best align with your lived experiences and cultural foundations. I consider myself a passenger on your journey; we collaborate along the way to approach the dynamics of life sensitively and comprehensively.
During our first session, I want to get to know you and answer questions you have about me. I am a firm believer that the therapeutic relationship requires comfort and trust. I am hopeful that will come with openness and transparency from both of us, creating the space through which we develop a plan to achieve the goals you have for your mental health!
