About My Clients

My experience includes working closely with the LGBTQ+ community and individuals experiencing homelessness, along with helping clients navigate complex systems as they seek assistance in healing and improving their circumstances.

My Background and Approach

I consider a myriad of techniques and philosophies in my approach to therapy, specifically focusing on Motivational Interviewing, Optimistic Therapy, and Positive Psychological Coaching. I strongly believe in a humanistic and person-centered approach to therapy: acknowledging the first step of coming to therapy is often the toughest and building off each client’s unique confidence and perspectives. There are opportunities for growth both during and outside of therapy, and I strongly believe in meshing the push-pull factors from both sides to create the best sense of comfort and accomplishment while providing the strongest evidence of development. Whether it is your first time seeking therapy or your most recent attempt at connecting with a therapist, I create a calm and welcoming environment for all of my clients. Therapy can be an uncomfortable challenge at times, but those challenges do not have to be faced alone on your journey of personal development towards self-improvement.
