How would you describe your therapeutic style in three words? Give a short explanation for each descriptor.
Strength-based: I believe everyone has the strength to heal and it’s my goal to help get you there by fine tuning the tools and skills you already have.
Trauma-informed: My priority is to provide a safe, transparent, and empathetic environment to empower you in your own healing journey.
Person-centered: I find importance in creating a judgement free space--you are not defined by your trauma.
What is your comfort movie/TV show that you can watch over and over again?
The Office. All day, every day. No matter what mood I’m in, The Office always makes it better.
What is your favorite Ice Cream flavor or dessert?
Any type of coffee ice cream but specifically, Haagen Dazs Coffee Chip. I’ll take caffeine wherever I can get it!
