My top priority is to create a comfortable and warm therapeutic environment that fosters openness and collaboration. As your therapist, I will take time to learn about your identity, your history, your values, and your needs – you are the expert on your own lived experiences and I want to empower you to recognize your goals.
With my background in school counseling and music therapy, I have experience working with diverse cultures, identities, trauma backgrounds, and disabilities, therefore I am always adapting my approach to accommodate the needs of the individuals I am working with. I prioritize understanding your perspective and will tailor our sessions to be relevant and sensitive to your unique needs.
I integrate trauma-informed strategies, creative arts techniques, mindfulness, and psychoeducation to support the therapeutic process. I frequently draw upon techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy; however, I am eclectic in my approach and incorporate other evidence-based techniques as-needed. I strongly believe in working with you as the client to individualize the therapeutic process to your unique needs.
