What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we'll start with introductions and I'll ask questions about your life, current challenges, and goals for therapy. We'll discuss your expectations and this session will allow you to evaluate if you feel comfortable with me and my approach. This is a great opportujity for you to ask any questions you have about the therapeutic process or my approach. This initial visit is a period for us to get to know each other.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and understand that what works for one individual may not work for another. I partner together with individuals, making adjustments to my therapeutic interventions based on individual needs and preferences. I have a passion for partnering together with others and believe in individuals ability to make positive changes, without judgement.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a short term, evidence-based therapeutic approach that is future-oriented and goal-focused, emphasizing what individuals can do and their strengths. Sessions typically last 6-10 weeks or longer if needed. I partner together with individuals to establish realistic, meaningful steps and time frames for goals, focusing on individuals strengths and resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based, therapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health problems. I partner with individuals to explore thoughts, behaviors, problem areas and develop solutions, using a strength based approach.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a short-term, collaborative counseling method that helps people find internal motivation to change their behavior. I work collaboratively with individuals to help them explore their own values and goals.
