Background & Experience
I believe in the inherent worth of every individual and am committed to fostering spaces where you can develop internal peace and happiness. My approach is client-centered and empowering—I see you as the expert of your own story and healing journey. My role is to walk alongside you, providing a safe, compassionate, authentic, and open-minded environment where you can explore and grow.
My journey into mental health began through school-based research, where I implemented social skills, emotional regulation, and trauma-informed mindfulness programs. These experiences shaped my understanding of how deeply our environment, relationships, and physical health impact our mental well-being. I'm passionate about integrating these connections into our therapeutic work together.
Therapeutic Approach
My approach is client-centered and empowering, honoring you as the expert of your own story. I believe strongly in using psychoeducation to help you understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—knowledge is power, and understanding the "why" behind your experiences can be incredibly liberating.
I'm passionate about integrating the profound impact of our environment and physical health on mental well-being. This includes incorporating nature therapy and ecotherapy into our work when appropriate, recognizing the healing power of connecting with the natural world. I take a holistic view of wellness, understanding that our mental health is deeply connected to our bodies, communities, and environment.
Unique Aspects & Philosophy
I strongly believe in destigmatizing behaviors through education and creating a safe, compassionate, and open-minded space. Whether you're navigating identity questions, processing trauma, managing anxiety, or working through life transitions, I'm here to support you with acceptance and without judgment.
