Practice Philosophy:
I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach that honors each individual as an expert of their own lives. With the understanding that mental health is shaped by personal experiences, relationships, cultural background, community, and broader systemic factors.
I utilize evidence-based modalities to support individuals in enhancing coping skills, building insight, identifying strengths, and cultivating resilience within a collaborative, compassionate therapeutic relationship.
