What should a new client know about working with you?

When working with you, I incorporate several evidence-based modalities tailored to your needs and the most appropriate treatment. My therapeutic approach is to understand your experiences, emotions, habits, and patterns associated with unwanted behaviors. We work together to identify patterns by understanding parts of your childhood, past experiences, and the present and how these experiences may be connected to your current behaviors and emotions. There is no one-size-fits-all approach in my clinical practice; I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoanalysis, solution-focused therapy, and strength-based therapy to help you understand yourself and your current issues better, all through a nonjudgmental and genuine approach. I want to give you the tools and knowledge to better understand yourself and your everyday experiences so you can better navigate what life brings you!
