and Principles

“Small changes add up to big results.”

I’m committed to unconditional positive regard for my clients, placing it at the core of my coaching philosophy. Whether you’re uncertain about making a change or have encountered setbacks, you’ll find a safe space with me. I will discuss your goals and integrate various tools that align with your core values and personal motivations for change. I can help you focus on achieving your individual goals while respecting autonomy.

My coaching approach is a blend of Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), and fundamental behavioral techniques, such as environmental modifications and progress tracking. Interventions are customized based on each client’s unique needs.
