My philosophy of helping involves the integration of psychological science, theory, and evidence-based practice to assist individuals in making meaningful changes in their lives. I view therapy as a process where we join together to work collaboratively towards your goals. I work from an integrative orientation, which means that I incorporate interventions from different psychotherapies and cultural understandings to individualize treatment.
