I employ evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs, including play therapy for children and collaborative treatment planning for families. My commitment to personalized care extends to psychological assessments that clarify diagnostic questions and inform effective interventions.By prioritizing trust and collaboration, I help clients develop coping strategies to overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
