Therapy Modalities
Art Therapy
Art therapy is a therapeutic practice that uses creative processes like drawing, painting, and sculpting to help individuals express emotions and explore their thoughts. It can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle to verbalize their feelings, providing a non-verbal outlet for self-expression and healing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected, and by altering harmful thinking, we can improve emotional well-being and behavior.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as the authors of their own life stories. It emphasizes the importance of the stories people tell about themselves and how these narratives shape their identities and experiences.Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as the authors of their own life stories.

My Approach
My counseling approach focuses on creating a safe, empathetic, and supportive environment for clients to explore their experiences. I utilize trauma-informed care to ensure clients feel understood and empowered throughout their healing journey. In working with individuals on the autism spectrum, I tailor my methods to their unique communication styles and needs, fostering a sense of trust and understanding.
My style is direct yet caring. I help clients understand conflicting beliefs and behaviors to promote change.I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and somatic approaches, ensuring that therapy is client-centered and adapted to each individual’s strengths and challenges.
Additionally, I collaborate with families, psychiatrists, and others to yield consistent goals across settings. I care immensely about generalizing positive change in all environments.
