Identity Exploration, Relationship Concerns. Anxiety/Stress Management, Interpersonal Struggles, Adjustment-Related Concerns, Self-Esteem Challenges
Theoretical Orientation:
I work primarily from a person-centered and integrative lens. I use my client’s goals, values, and needs to inform my practice. I typically incorporate acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, as well as cognitive behavior therapy approaches in my work
My Approach to Therapy:
I view the therapeutic space as one of collaboration and exploration! I consider the client the expert on themselves, and our work together is to create an open and warm space in which this work can be thoughtfully explored. I appreciate the unique values, culture, and history that each individual brings into the room with them. My hope is that in my work with clients, we can use their already existing strengths and tools to implement positive change or movement in their lives.
