My Approach to Helping

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, active listening, and collaboration with you, the client, who is the expert of your own story. My goal is to help you build a deeper understanding of yourself, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and cultivate lasting positive changes in your life. I incorporate various therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices.

Why I Became a Therapist

I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to understanding people on a deeper level. Life is filled with challenges, and being able to provide support, guidance, and hope for someone navigating those struggles feels incredibly fulfilling to me. As a therapist, I’m privileged to witness my clients’ resilience and growth, and to play a role in their journey toward healing and self-discovery. It's also profoundly rewarding to be able to help people feel heard, understood, and empowered as they work toward meaningful change in their lives. I truly believe in the power of human connection and the strength that comes from collaboration, which is why this profession feels like the perfect fit for me.
