My therapy style brings forth empathy, humor, and a person-centered approach to clients who I work with. My therapeutic approach and compassion in the helping process allows me to build rapport and meet clients right where they are.

I will process with each client individually while utilizing these evidence-based practices, to ensure I meet their needs specifically, as every client is unique.
