My practice is focused on a client-centered, humanistic approach that encompasses the treatment of individuals as a whole person. My approach offers a calming and non-judgemental environment to allow the space to explore different pathways to healing. I integrate interventions from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral therapy, mindfulness and person-centered therapy as well as solution-focused therapy. I try to empower clients to draw on natural strengths for motivation and to develop resilience towards change so that they can continue to grow and heal. I focus on replacing negative coping skills with healthy stress management so that my clients can feel empowered, embrace change and lead fulfilling lives.
In our first session together, we will start with introductions and then dive into some of the primary stressors or life events that prompted the start of therapy.
I use a variety of evidence- based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfullness therapy, person centered-therapy and solution-focused brief therapy. I also utilize motivational interviewing, art therapy, and music therapy.
My biggest strengths include offering treatment that is transparent, direct and empathetic. I create a calming and non-judgemental environment to allow my clients the space to be honest and explore the uncomfortable while feeling supported in their journey.
