What is my approach to healing?
As a therapist, I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. Through utilizing a strength-based, person-centered framework, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space that places the individual at the center of their therapeutic journey and empowers them to take an active role in their healing process. I offer an integrative approach that is individualized to the person based on their unique experiences, concerns, and goals.
