My Approach to Therapy:

My approach is respectful, firm but fair. Therapy with me is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can increase your skill set, address current/past experiences, and work together as a team to do so.

Learning healthy, unhealthy, and toxic boundaries
Self-reflection when faced with difficult situations
Applying effective skills learned in treatment

I utilize person centered therapy in conjunction of cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. This means although the session can be led by you we work together to see how our thoughts and behaviors could be causing negative impacts to your lifestyle. We will seek different ways to increase your functioning in the community and overall lifestyle changes

Who I Work Best With:

I work best with adults who justice involved, who are willing and ready to break the cycle of recidivism. If you feel like you're stuck in the cycle of the legal system, I enjoy assisting with breaking through barriers they keep you in the rotations.
