High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also drawing from other modalities as needed, depending on where the client is. I aim for strengths-based, goal-driven, short-term solution-focused, and client-centered approaches while obtaining client perspective and feedback throughout the course of services. My goal is to facilitate and empower you towards improved functioning, with self-discovery and reflection through psychodynamic practice using honest, non-judgmental, and compassionate services.
