I believe in a person centered and narrative approach, as you are the expert of your own life. You
have your own story to tell. Talking to a stranger about issues you’re facing can be extremely
difficult and challenging but it shows enormous amounts of strength and bravery.
My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself,
discuss challenges that you are facing, explore new ideas and new chapters, and to help promote
growth and wellness. I want my clients to feel heard and understood.
Client Focus
Session Format: Couple, Family, Individual sessions.
Age Specialty: Adult, Senior, Teen

Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Music Therapy Uses music listening, songwriting, or rhythm exercises to support healing. It is effective for stress, emotional expression, and cognitive challenges.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches and theories as each individual is different in their needs and expectations.

I have several years of experience working with a variety of situations, ages, and cultures. I have
experience working with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, substance abuse, addictions,
psychosis, ADHD, PTSD, conduct disorders, incarcerated individuals, families, couples,
LGBTQ+, and more.
Our initial session serves as a meet and greet, so that you can ask questions, gain some
comfortability, and get to know each other. This gives us an opportunity to see if we can build
the therapeutic relationship together. I look forward to meeting you.
