I am no stranger to being in diverse spaces, and it is for the reason I pride myself on bringing an eclectic approach to the therapeutic space. My approach is client-centered. I believe every client is in the driver seat of their on therapy. My goal is to assist my clients in reaching a space where they feel they are living within the best version of themselves. Additionally, my hope is to serve as an anchor for my clients navigate difficult spaces, process trauma, and manage acute or recurring stress. I implore a variety of therapy approaches and modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Approaches, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
