My Approach to Helping

I practice from an integrated lens, which means that I pull from different theoretical orientations to address your goals for therapy. My primary therapeutic approaches include restoration therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As we walk through life, we are bound to struggle in one way or another. Sometimes, when the struggle feels overwhelming, we can look outside of ourselves for a helping hand. To participate in therapy is to collaborate in a safe and accepting space where you can learn practical skills that facilitate meaningful long-lasting positive change in yourself and in your relationships. I believe that it is through a process of self-discovery and practice that we are able to empower ourselves to skillfully make choices that lead us toward the outcomes we desire. As someone who has grappled with mental health, I know that change is possible but not always easy. I also know that when we take responsibility, hold ourselves accountable, and do the good work, we can achieve our goals.
