Therapy style
I prioritize empathy, respect, curiosity, and kindness. I employ trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches, alongside evidence-based interventions such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am here to bolster confidence and provide comfort in navigating challenging situations at home and in relationships. For over 15 years, I have worked with clients in various community mental health settings, including those who have experienced traumatic events, individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses, and children, adolescents, and adults requiring crisis intervention counseling and stabilization.
