My approach

As a licensed social worker, my approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where each session serves as a step toward resilience, healing, and meaningful growth. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and challenges. Therapy is a journey, and I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, respect, and dedication to your well-being.
