My Approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative and Person-Centered. Coming from a trauma focused background and experience in multiple community mental health environments has allowed me to work with people of various backgrounds and life experiences. This has taught me to put the clients perspective at the core of our work and meet them where they are to create an environment and opportunity for lasting change.
