Do you ever feel overwhelmed, anxious and exhausted? Do you wish that you could confide in someone about it? I help individuals work through their issues by using tools to cope and change. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session, clients can expect to discuss their reasons for seeking therapy, share relevant background information, and begin building a therapeutic relationship. I may also outline the therapeutic process and address any initial concerns.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a mental health therapist, my greatest strengths include empathetic listening, creating a non-judgmental space, and tailoring therapeutic approaches to individual needs. I strive for cultural sensitivity, foster collaborative relationships with clients, and continuously integrate new insights to enhance the effectiveness of my practice.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are ready to explore their inner experiences while making meaningful, practical changes in their lives. Many are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or low self-esteem, and want to better understand patterns rooted in past experiences. I support individuals who feel stuck but are motivated to build confidence, set boundaries, and align their choices with their values. My approach blends supportive and direct techniques, using CBT, ACT, and solution-focused strategies to promote both insight and action. Clients who benefit most are open to reflection, willing to be challenged, and committed to growth.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), utilizing it in my practice to help clients identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is a goal-oriented approach, and I work collaboratively with clients to develop coping skills, challenge distorted thinking, and promote positive changes. It’s an effective method for addressing various mental health concerns.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice, I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) as a strengths-based approach. I focus on clients' goals and explore solutions rather than dwelling extensively on problems. SFBT is particularly useful for its efficiency, emphasizing positive change in a relatively short timeframe. Through guided conversations, clients identify and amplify their strengths, fostering a proactive mindset to address challenges.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
My experience with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) involves utilizing its principles to help clients embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. In my practice, I integrate ACT by encouraging clients to accept their inner experiences and commit to actions that align with their values. This involves helping clients develop psychological flexibility through mindfulness techniques and value-based goal setting. By fostering an open, non-judgmental attitude towards their emotions and thoughts, clients learn to navigate life's challenges more effectively, enhancing their overall well-being and resilience.
