My Approach
My approach to therapy is warm, partnership-driven, and anchored in evidence-based methods. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years in the field, I join you in respecting your individual history, exploring unhelpful patterns, and developing usable skills for growth. I focus on guiding individuals to help themselves, to understand how our past effects the present and how to break the cycle of generational trauma.
