I have worked directly with individuals across the lifespan. My clinical approach is eclectic and always tailored to each individual. I believe every person entering therapy is unique, and their treatment should reflect that. I utilize ACT, CBT, Person-Centered, and mindfulness-based approaches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I strongly believe in each client&#8217;s autonomy and focus on empowering them to feel in control of their lives. Lastly, I aim to provide every client with a warm, nonjudgmental space where they can feel comfortable enough to share and work toward their goals.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBe yourself.
