INTERN THERAPIST

MY APPROACH

For more than ten years, I have had the honor of working with youth and families, which has deeply influenced my understanding of essential role relationships play in promoting healing and growth. I view each person as the expert of their own life, with their experiences shaped by various interconnected systems, such as family, culture, community, workplaces, and broader societal structures.

By recognizing these influences, I adopt a holistic approach to therapy, integrating systems and relational perspectives to facilitate meaningful and lasting change.
My work is rooted in a trauma-informed perspective, emphasizing, empathy, and non-judgment as the pillars of healing.

I believe that everyone possesses an innate capacity for growth and that the right therapeutic environment can cultivate this potential, fostering empowerment and transformation. Central to my practice is the belief that relationships are crucial to human healing. Together, we will delve into your unique story, identify your strengths, and create a compassionate space for you to confidently pursue change.

I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT...

I thrive on connection, movement, and nature. I finds joy in spending time with my dog, engaging in recreational sports, and staying active through exercise. I was once a competitive athlete so, I enjoy being active and I value the camaraderie of community sports. Being outdoors brings me a sense of balance, whether hiking, walking, or simply enjoying fresh air.

I cherish each moment with friends and family or unwinding with TV shows. I truly believe in the power of movement, storytelling, and meaningful relationships to forge a fulfilling and grounded life.
