Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, we’ll get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your goals, strengths, and current challenges to help create a plan that fits your individual needs. You can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and encouraged to take meaningful steps toward growth at your own pace.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is described as grounded, empathetic, and practical. I combine evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR with a warmth to help you gain insight and confidence. Whether we’re building coping skills or processing deeper emotions, my focus is always on helping you feel more balanced and empowered.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is ready to make steady progress and gain insight. In therapy, we’ll work to understand what’s going on, build practical coping skills, and work toward goals like feeling calmer, more confident, more grounded, and more in control of your life. I’m a good fit if you like a supportive, collaborative approach that’s also structured and evidence-based practices.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT in practice by helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, replacing them with more balanced and realistic perspectives. Together, we will develop coping strategies and practice behavioral changes that support healthier emotions and improved daily functioning.
EMDR
I use EMDR in practice by guiding clients through bilateral stimulation while they process distressing memories in a safe and structured way. This helps reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic experiences and allows clients to form more adaptive beliefs about themselves and their past.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT in practice to teach clients skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills will help clients manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT by helping clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control their behavior. Together, we will focus on clarifying values and taking committed actions that move them toward a meaningful and fulfilling life.
