THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

Trust

Building a strong, trustworthy relationship with a professional therapist is essential. I work with integrity, fostering a safe, collaborative environment where clients can feel heard and valued. Through mutual respect and shared commitment, I empower clients to make meaningful progress in their journey.

Impact

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and I am passionate about breaking stigma that surrounds it. I create an open, supportive environment for those seeking help with depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD, and work to normalize evidence-based therapy approaches such as EMDR that have potential for real, impactful change.

Healing is a journey that requires perseverance. I am committed to helping my clients overcome both external challenges and internal barriers with strength and resilience. I approach every treatment plan with care, precision, and a focus on long-term healing. Through ongoing collaboration, resource-sharing, and unwavering support, I help clients find the resolve they need to continue their path toward recovery.
