My goal in working with clients and families is to meet you where you are, create a therapeutic environment for exploration and expression, and use creativity to tailor treatments to your specific preferences and goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is, in and of itself, a treatment modality. I truly hope to provide you with a safe space to express yourself freely and to feel seen and heard. Together, we will identify your current stressors and goals and develop a plan of action. We will use creative methods to help alleviate negative symptoms you may be coping with, and to increase your sense of connection and joy.
