I have always been drawn to helping people feel better in difficult times. 

 open, honest.

I wish all clients knew that therapy is a process, it takes time and is a collaborative approach.

In the early stages of therapy, clients can expect me to ask open ended questions about their life to better understand where they are coming from.

My practice is grounded in a deep belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and change when they are met with compassion, understanding, and the right support. I value creating a nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be open about their experiences, especially when they may have felt misunderstood or overlooked in the past.

My approach is also informed by the importance of meeting people where they are. I recognize that change can be difficult, and I draw on motivational interviewing to honor each client’s readiness while gently supporting forward movement. Using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), I help clients connect with their values and take meaningful steps toward the life they want, even in the presence of challenges. 

I strongly believe in a strengthsbased perspective, focusing on what is already working and building from there rather than only focusing on what’s wrong. Above all, I value authenticity, collaboration, and providing care that is both compassionate and grounded in evidencebased practices.

I tailor therapy to each client by starting with a deep understanding of their unique experiences, goals, and strengths. No two people are the same, so I take time to learn what’s most important to each individual and what challenges they’re facing in their day-to-day life. 

I use a flexible, integrative approach, drawing from motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and strengthsbased, humanistic principles. This allows me to adapt our work together based on what resonates most with the client—whether that’s building practical coping skills, increasing self-awareness, or focusing on values-driven change. 

Throughout the process, I regularly check in and collaborate with clients to ensure therapy feels relevant, supportive, and aligned with their goals. My aim is to create a space that is both compassionate and structured, where clients feel heard while also gaining tools and strategies that are meaningful and effective for them.
