I discovered my passion to make a difference in others’ lives when I began my career in Behavioral Health over 20 years ago. I am privileged to meet people and together we find the solutions to whatever life problems come into our lives. I have been consistently told by clients that they feel safe and comfortable talking about whatever brings them in and that they feel better when they leave a session. It’s my goal to provide you the ability to leave a session with more than you came with as part of the process of personal growth and healing.
Through life experience, having worked with thousands of people, I share information, methods of coping with situations and people, suggestions of solutions that allow you to make informed decisions about what you want to do. I never judge anyone about anything and am accepting and supportive. I have a positive, professional approach that has shown to be effective to help people with respect and dignity, improve self-esteem and confidence, self-acceptance, and the ability to learn from mistakes.
I am known for my effective and compassionate approach to therapy. With years of experience and a strong educational background, my practice is dedicated to helping individuals achieve personal growth, healing, and overall well-being. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from various evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and client centered techniques. By tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client, I create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
A key strength is my ability to build strong therapeutic alliances with clients. I believe that a trusting and collaborative relationship is essential for successful therapy outcomes. I believe that a warm and non-judgmental demeanor allows clients to feel heard, understood, and validated, which in turn fosters a sense of empowerment and encourages personal growth.
