About me
I help people who are navigating depression, anxiety, and big life transitions find their footing again. In our work together, we'll look closely at the thoughts and patterns that tend to keep you stuck and build practical tools you can use between sessions. My approach blends practical, goal-focused strategies with a strengths-based lens, meaning we'll spend as much time noticing what's already working for you as we do address what feels hard right now. I bring a warm, non-judgmental presence to every session, and I believe healing happens fastest when you feel genuinely seen and supported.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session will be spent on getting to know you than trying to solve everything right away. This time will be used trying to understand what brought you in, what your goals are, and work on building rapport. Confidentiality and its limits (such as situations involving immediate safety concerns), session length, cancellation policies, and answer any questions you have about the process. Questions will be asked about your background. This might include your family, relationships, work or school, physical health, previous mental health treatment, significant life events, and any current stressors. Feel no pressure to share what you are not ready for. This is an open and non-judgmental space.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
With experience in many different mental health agencies and populations, I more than equipped to offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment to share any issues or concerns. My objective is to self-start healing and focus on your goals.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are open minded, honest, willing to actively engage in treatment, willing to accept change, while being self-aware. The counseling process can look different for everyone and that is perfectly okay. There is no pressure to "perform" but show up and let's do the work needed to assist in improving your overall health physically, mentally, and emotionally.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to assist client in focusing on the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The central idea is that while you can't always control what happens to you, you can learn to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress. This will also address needed coping skills, anxiety, and lessening depressive symptoms.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I utilize person centered approach to assist in personal growth and self-awareness by providing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for clients to explore their feelings and experiences. I will offer support, guidance, and structure to enable the client to discover their own personal solutions to their problems.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I utilize SFBT to assist clients in building on a client’s strengths and existing resources rather than analyzing the causes of their problems. The focus is on health rather than the problem, and on the skills and resources that will help the client reach their goals. Clients will be encouraged to believe change is possible and to notice when they are already doing more of what works. Clients will envision their desired future and identify steps to achieve it, rather than delving into past problems.
