Clinical Profile & Philosophy
My approach to therapy is person-centered with the integration of creative counseling and a deep commitment to finding the connection between mind, body, and spirit. My philosophy leans heavy on dialectical thinking and mindfulness to learn how to navigate life’s twists and turns.

I tend to say I am my clients' biggest cheerleader through empowerment and validation. I also tend to say I could be my clients' biggest challenger through increasing insight into limited beliefs and actions. I strive to be the safe, trusting, strengthening space for my clients. And together, we can create an alliance for reflection and growth.
