I value critical thinking, creativity, and humor within the therapeutic relationship. With the awareness that people are the authorities of their own lives, I treat all my clients with respect. I make an effort to emphasize strengths without invalidating feelings or minimizing problems. As part of a collaborative effort, I work with my clients to develop the most comfortable, feasible, and effective treatment plan. Ultimately, my goal is to empower my clients to make changes in their own lives.
Using combination of therapeutic techniques tailored to an individual or family’s needs, I practice the following treatment methods:
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Play Therapy
- Art Therapy
- Strengths-Based Therapy
- Feminist Therapy
- LGBTQ-Affirmative Therapy
