My practice is informed by the humanistic perspective as a foundation for working in a genuine and empathic therapeutic relationship. I believe growth is change and the past can inform our present. In my approach, there is also a focus on the relational work in therapy. Therefore, an integrative approach of various therapeutic modalities is utilized to foster authentic growth in the therapeutic relationship between my clients and I. The foci of modalities stem from Rogerian techniques, relational theories, mindfulness, and existentialism. In therapy, you and I will work together to build an alliance that is safe, collaborative, and honest. Together we will identify joy and challenges in life, seek meaning from experiences, and transcend the pain and suffering caused by life’s adversities.

My personal interests include exploring identity and creativity—how we come to understand ourselves and the world around us. I may incorporate different approaches that are alternative to talk therapy, such as, art, music, and spirituality, to allow for some variety and creativity in our work together.
