About My Clients
I use active listening, empowerment, advocacy, and psychoeducational tools to help clients better understand how to work toward feeling better. My hope is that by talking through problems, learning a little bit about your worldview, and how you can best approach problems, we can work toward achieving your therapy goals together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a warm caring therapist who simply wants to help you get to a place where you are feeling like your best self. I aim to walk alongside you in your journey toward achieving your goals. I hope to create a warm, considerate, safe environment that invites you to come and speak your truth. I look forward to getting to know you and working together toward common goals. I primarily view therapy from a relational-cultural lens. I believe that relationships and shared connections with others are the cornerstones of developing a healthy sense of self. Instead of focusing on becoming more independent from others, I believe that strong connections with others are the mark of positive well-being. Growth-fostering relationships and connections are thought to be conduits for change. I also subscribe to the idea that emotions are influenced by biology and cognition.
