My Therapeutic Approach
I combine evidence-based techniques with creative expression to meet your unique needs. As a Certified Grief Counselor trained in 10+ modalities, I customize care to support your specific healing journey.
Why I Practice
After witnessing mental health stigma firsthand, I create judgment-free zones where vulnerability transforms into strength. You'll find warmth, collaborative goal-setting, creative interventions (art, play, movement), neurodiversity-affirming care, and cross-disciplinary coordination when needed.
My personal experiences allow me to connect with clients on a more genuine level, while also providing a space where they feel comfortable sharing vulnerable emotions and experiences. I strive to provide clients with a non-judgmental environment, compassion, empathy, and support.
I strongly believe the first step to creating a treatment plan is to have a strong and healthy positive therapeutic relationship. Clients of mine will feel heard, understood, and above all safe.
