People decide to pursue therapy for many different reasons. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my primary goal is to foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where individuals feel heard and understood. I work to build a collaborative partnership with all clients, regardless of what brings them to treatment. The therapeutic relationship serves as the foundation to deepen clients’ understanding of relationships, behaviors, and thought patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies and insight. I use an integrated approach to therapy to support individuals to invest in their strengths, while shifting away from patterns that no longer serve them.
