Nice to meet you
I'm passionate about working with individuals who would like to work on self-care, vulnerability, and growth to live a more self-empowered and fulfilled life. My therapeutic approach is a combination of solution-focused, strength-based therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). I believe in meeting where the client is and treating them with dignity, respect, and compassion.
