I use an integrative and individually tailored approach with my clients, regardless of age, gender, cultural or ethnic background, or presenting problem. My goal first and foremost is to meet you where you are at to form a trusting relationship. My academic background and trainings include Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. I look at each individual in a holistic context, having been significantly influenced and shaped by family history, experiences, and relationships both past and present. While I know that resolving childhood and past relationship wounds can be a beneficial focal point of therapy; I believe that focusing on the present and future are equally as important in order to manifest change.

Naturally in this field of work, relationships are an integral component, however, I strongly believe that your relationship with yourself (including how you talk to and treat yourself) is one of the most important starting points, as it directly affects self-esteem, self-image, attachment style, inter-personal relationships, and all aspects of physical and mental health.  

As mentioned, I am not strictly committed to a specific approach or agenda with any client. As each person has unique perspectives, life experiences, priorities, and needs, I view therapy as a collaborative process, working together to determine specific treatment goals.
