I’ve always had an interest in working alongside individuals as they navigate their mental health journey. I find that individuals connect best with their varying emotions when they fully examine the meaning behind them and uncover the root cause of their struggles. As a therapist, I view my role as a fellow passenger during the therapeutic process. I believe in sitting with my client as they unpack their emotions, allowing us to examine and process them together. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages with their varying emotional challenges, including children and families.
I follow an Emotionally-Focused Therapeutic and Person-Centered approach to therapy. I believe in examining client’s emotions and sitting with them in session together. When working with children I use a Play Therapy approach which involves using play to navigate their big feelings and emotional challenges.
I look forward to hearing from potential clients as we start their therapeutic journey together. I have experience working with children as young as 5 and adults up to age 56. When working with children and teens I always include parents and guardians in a manner that doesn’t break confidentially for my client.
