My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in a person-centered approach. I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs by integrating evidence-based practices with a focus on emotional safety, strengths, and self-understanding. I strive to create an affirming space where clients feel supported in exploring challenges and building meaningful change.

With children, I most often utilize play and art therapy to support emotional expression, build rapport, and process experiences in a developmentally appropriate way. With adolescents and adults, I use an integrative framework that combines DBT skills, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to promote symptom relief, alongside psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches to explore unconscious patterns and relational dynamics.
