As an LPCC, I provide compassionate and client-centered support to individuals facing emotional, psychological, and life challenges. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, manage mood imbalances, and develop effective coping strategies for stress and emotional dysregulation. Using a blend of therapeutic approaches like CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I empower clients to build resilience, improve self-awareness, and foster personal growth. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and equipped to move forward with confidence and clarity.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences, process their pain, and develop the tools they need to heal. I take a client-centered approach, tailoring interventions to meet each individual’s unique needs. Utilizing evidence-based practices, I help clients rebuild a sense of safety, autonomy, and self-worth. My goal is to walk alongside them on their journey toward healing, resilience, and lasting change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am so glad you’re here. Beyond my professional role, I am also a mother of five—a role that has shaped me just as much as my career. Balancing the responsibilities of parenthood with the emotional depth of therapeutic work has given me a unique perspective on healing, resilience, and the power of human connection.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are navigating significant life transitions, such as career changes, relationship shifts, or major relocations, helping them build resilience and adapt to new circumstances. Clients struggling with mood and emotional imbalances, including anxiety, depression, or mood swings, benefit from my approach of integrating various therapeutic techniques to restore emotional stability and well-being. I also work well with individuals facing challenges in their personal or professional lives, supporting them as they develop coping strategies to manage stress, overwhelm, and uncertainty. My approach is ideal for those looking for practical solutions to immediate difficulties while fostering long-term emotional growth. Overall, I aim to empower clients to regain a sense of control and purpose during periods of change and emotional distress.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to help clients develop emotional regulation skills by teaching them mindfulness techniques to stay present and aware. I also focus on improving interpersonal effectiveness by helping clients navigate relationships with more confidence and empathy. Additionally, I work on distress tolerance strategies, guiding clients to manage intense emotions and crises without making impulsive decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to their emotional distress. I work with clients to develop healthier, more realistic thinking by guiding them through cognitive restructuring exercises. Additionally, I incorporate behavioral strategies to encourage clients to engage in activities that improve mood and build positive coping mechanisms.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients focus on their strengths and past successes to identify practical solutions for overcoming current challenges. I work with clients to set clear, achievable goals and emphasize the positive changes they can make in the present to create lasting improvement.
