Philosophy: I believe in the transformative power of therapy and the resilience of the human spirit. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution focused therapy, supportive and interpersonal therapy, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Client-Centered Care: My practice is centered around building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to empower them to make positive changes in their lives, develop coping skills, and enhance their overall well-being.
