My therapeutic framework is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) and I have a strong belief in each person’s innate capacity for growth, healing, and self-direction. I place a high importance on the therapeutic relationship, seeking to nurture a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental holding space where clients feel safe to explore their internal experiences. My practice utilizes evidence-based strategies and interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including skills development across areas such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness— always integrated in a collaborative, client-directed way that respects your autonomy. I am committed to providing culturally responsive care, and I consistently seek to adapt my approach to honor your unique lived experience, values, and cultural background. I seek to be collaborative with you as we work together toward your goals, and I believe that you are the expert of your own life. If you have any questions, concerns, or additional input, I invite them into the therapy space with curiosity to create a therapeutic experience that is truly tailored to you. I am dedicated to helping individuals build coping skills, navigate barriers, and increase their confidence in managing their mental health to improve overall wellbeing and quality of life.
