I innately lean towards a person-centered and humanistic therapy style. I believe connection before intervention sets the patient for best and optimal healing. Patients can expect an experienced and stable listening ear with a warm greeting and safe atmosphere. With a trauma- informed approach I will gather thorough to attain a genuine understanding of their presenting problem and desire for healing.

Patients have expressed they enjoyed working with me and having gained clarity and insight helping them make informed changes for sustained healing. I have a calm demeanor that safely encourages them to deeply explore their presenting problem.
