As a therapist, I value the therapeutic relationship and work collaboratively with you to foster insight and empowerment. Using a solution-focused and strength-based approach to identify goals, I select client-centered interventions, and then strive to help you achieve them. I use a holistic approach along with mindfulness based skills, meditation, yoga, and spirituality. 

As a good therapist, my role is to support you to reach your treatment goals and work with you to foster healing and growth. It is my job to ask the tough questions and dive deeper into the motivations and feelings behind your behavior to cultivate personal insight. I am committed to helping you to restore relationships and heal from the inside out. 

I am excited to work with you to  help you achieve your personal and relational goals in order to foster an authentic and healthy lifestyle.
