I believe in the power of your story and the positive change that hope can bring. I understand that there is strength in a therapeutic relationship, vulnerability and intentionality; I strive to create a safe, comfortable, empowering and creative environment in which my clients can work towards their individual goals. I believe that values, personal awareness and intention are at the foundation of lasting change. I work with my clients to identify what matters most to them, work through barriers that stand between where they are and where they would like to be, and create a plan of intentional growth and change to ultimately align my clients to live in accordance to their goals and values.
My hope is to facilitate a partnership in which you discover and reach your full potential. My commitment is to come along side you by providing skills, knowledge, reflection, support, and encouragement. I love what I do; I have a passion for empowering others and providing an opportunity for growth and vulnerability. It is my sincere desire that you embrace and enjoy the life you choose to create for yourself!
My therapeutic style is integrative and holistic. It includes a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Approach, Internal Family Systems Theory, Polyvagal Theory and Strengths-Based Therapy. I am a certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician and I also utilize integrative mental health concepts in my practice by working to align physical and mental health.
