My belief is that therapy is something that should be done collaboratively with clients through their healing process while remaining humbly inquisitive to each client’s unique experience. My goal is to create a safe, brave space for each client to be able to better explore their personal strengths. I hold a strong belief that each individual has the inherent ability within themselves to move toward positive growth. I work to ensure the therapy conducted is both age and developmentally appropriate; play is a child’s language and the toys are their words—I give children a way to best express themselves.

I believe that all individuals hold the key to their own wellbeing, and I aim to unlock that potential. Working from a client-centered, strengths-based, and humanistic approach, I collaborate with my clients to find goals and treatments that fit their unique needs. This flexibility allows my clients to progress at a pace that is comfortable for them, encouraging autonomy and heightened self-awareness. I aim to create a safe and affirming space where my clients feel at ease, and they can be their authentic selves.

I believe that therapy is a unique safe space to explore both positive and challenging thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As a therapist, I work alongside my clients to reach the goals that are important to them. I also value and strive to incorporate client autonomy, feedback, and collaboration throughout sessions. I hold a master's degree in social work and work from a person-centered, culturally inclusive, and nonjudgmental lens. In session, I typically implement principles from the following therapeutic modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and Mindfulness.

I believe that therapy is a unique and sacred space where the client can speak freely and honestly about the things they care about and would like to see improve. I believe the client is the expert on their own life and experiences. As a therapist, I will strive to create a brave space where the client is able to feel heard, supported, and empowered to tackle life’s challenges. I believe in a systems perspective, and see individuals not simply as an individual, but as part of a larger system. I like to involve the family system when appropriate. Attachment theory plays an important role in how I view others. I will engage clients in a strengths-based approach through the theory of Emotionally Focused Therapy and use Child Centered Play Therapy for younger children. I am also trained in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I see clients of all ages. I respect and affirm people of all sexualities, genders, and races.

I believe that we all hold within us the power and ability to meet any challenges we experience in life. As a therapist, I work to cultivate a space in which clients can experience a nonjudgmental, accepting and insightful therapeutic environment. I value client autonomy and believe each individual and family know themselves best. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths and abilities as well as how to employ these to incite the positive changes clients would like to see in themselves and their lives. My approach is client-centered with a trauma-focused lens. I also incorporate self-compassion practices, mindfulness-based techniques, somatic-techniques and psychoeducation regularly into my practice. I seek to create a space that is affirming and inclusive to all cultures, sexualities, and genders. We all have the capacity to obtain growth and healing in our lives, and while change may feel daunting at times, I am here to navigate that journey with clients one step at a time.
