Overview

I truly believe the key of success within therapy is to create a safe space by building rapport and trust. My style is to provide an empathetic listening ear in a non-judgmental space. The most insightful thing that I have learned as a social worker is that every person is the expert on their own life and as a therapist I am here to walk alongside that person and offer guidance, life skills and an alternate non-biased point of view.

My approach is to provide quality care by being genuinely curious, empathic and using a strength-based approach. We will spend time learning about each other and create individualized treatment goals which will guide our sessions. We will learn and practice helpful coping skills, communication skills, boundaries with oneself and others, just to name a few, to be successful when life presents challenges. Finally, we will aim to build one’s confidence and self-sufficiency in the use of these skills outside of therapy, to help you live your best life.
