My therapeutic approach can incorporate, but is not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I draw from these approaches to help clients explore thought and behavior patterns, strengthen coping skills, navigate difficult emotions, and identify meaningful steps toward change.

I recognize that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, and I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and respect. I aim to meet clients with openness and compassion, creating space for them to feel comfortable sharing their experiences without fear of judgment. Growth looks different for everyone, and I value the importance of working collaboratively while honoring each person's unique experiences and pace.
