Therapy style

My therapy style is centered on meeting clients where they are and supporting them as they navigate their current challenges. I use a holistic mind-body connection within a person-centered framework. I also take a direct approach, gently confronting unhealthy patterns to help clients understand the roles they have played in their own lives. This process empowers clients to recognize their ability to change and fosters personal growth and healing. I firmly belief that everyone is capable of change when ready and I am honored to be part of the process.

Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. As a mother of two young children, maintaining a work-life balance is essential. I love going on walks, watching movies, spending time with friends, and volunteering at my children's school whenever I can. Plus, I'm always up for watching a suspenseful, zombie-inspired series.
