My approach is open, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I focus on building strong, honest connections and encourage patients to bring in family members or support systems when it feels helpful. I believe lasting change often starts with the people around us, and I strive to help patients feel seen not just as individuals, but as part of a larger context. By staying authentic in my role, I create an environment where patients feel at ease discussing difficult topics and empowered to work toward meaningful growth.

Patients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental environment where they are encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings openly. Patients often leave therapy feeling lighter and more confident, equipped with practical tools to manage challenges and maintain progress. Many describe a renewed sense of clarity and a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Patients often say that what sets me apart is my ability to combine empathy with practical, actionable strategies, creating a balance between understanding and skill-building. They note that I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space while also helping them gain insight into patterns and tools for lasting change. Many appreciate my trauma-informed, personalized approach, which meets them where they are and honors their individual experiences. While the work can be difficult, I’ve found that with the proper support, patients can achieve real, lasting change.
