About me
I am a client centered therapist, which means I believe that the client is the expert on their experiences. I ask questions, am open to feedback, and trust the client's capacity for growth and self-actualization. Additionally, I provide coping skills and evidenced based practices to help clients in these areas. I also use art therapy in my practice, which is workable in telehealth.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I honestly, do not have expectations in our first session. I want to get to know you, and hear you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I believe my biggest strengths are empathy, honesty, and desire to help solve issues.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who want feedback, and want to know what I am thinking. I do not think I am the expert, and appreciate a client telling me if they disagree.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to hep clients identify and change harmful thought patterns and behaviors to manage depression, anxiety, PTSD, and insomnia.
Attachment-based
I use Attachment-based therapy to help clients build healthier and more secure relationship. It helps clients understand the different emotional, behavioral, and relational issues they may be experiencing with others.
Eclectic
Additionally, I use a variety of treatment methods including existential, experiential, family systems, and mindfulness.
Grief Therapy
Grief therapy helps clients process the emotional, physical, and cognitive impact of loss.

My first meeting was great, felt easy for me to open up and can’t wait to see what possible solutions to come next. Booked a second session.
