I describe my style as flexible, integrative, and strengths-oriented. I view therapy as a “healing journey with a friend”. It won’t always be easy, and I will challenge you, but we are a team. I believe that the stories we tell ourselves about our lives have a massive impact on how we feel. Together, we will work on “re-authoring” your narrative, moving away from labels of shame and toward a story of resiliency.

What to expect when we meet: In our first session, I want to get to know you, not just your symptoms. We’ll talk about your interests, your family, and what makes you laugh. To make things feel more comfortable, especially for my younger clients, I often incorporate art-making, games, or fun questions.

• Creative Healing: I use play therapy and art-based interventions to help children and teens express things that words sometimes can’t.

• Practical Tools: Growth doesn’t just happen in my office. I often suggest “homework” or small experiments for you to try between sessions so we can see what tools actually work for you in the real world.
