Professional Statement

I work from a place of compassion, experience, and a passion for being a therapist. My style is rooted in building a strong relational connection with clients, fostering an interactive, supportive environment and investing in client's unique goals. I blend humanistic, holistic, existential, spiritual, depth and dialectical behavior therapies. In a non-judgmental space, where you can openly discuss and reflect, we can cultivate awareness, enhance your abilities, and broaden perspectives. This journey of self-exploration and understanding paves the way for meaningful change in your life, ultimately leading to lasting personal growth. Many people I work with are looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, enhanced focus, and increased happiness, amidst life's complexities. Together, we'll navigate through challenges, addressing each hurdle with care and understanding. Our collaboration will empower you to define the path you envision for your life and work towards manifesting that vision.
