Therapy style
Life is constantly changing, and sometimes it can be stressful and overwhelming. I value each person's strengths and uniqueness and offer a safe and non-judgmental space to facilitate personal growth and improved emotional well-being. Fostering a professional and secure therapeutic relationship is essential to therapeutic growth and facilitates healing. I believe in meeting clients where they are in their stage of life and empowering them to discover insights and reach their goals. My role is to guide and support you on your journey. I have experience working with adults, couples, older adults, veterans, and first responders.
