Hello! Welcome, congratulation on taking your first step to healing. I'm excited to walk with you and learn what makes you the unique. How can I help you meet your goals? I know first hand that it can be complicated to balance it all- work, family, friends hobbies, health, you name it and it just part or the weight that at times can hold us down. We always here the "put yourself first" and "make time for you" without the how or when. That's what I do with my clients. We get into the nitty gritty to understand how to balance all of the complicated stressors while also remembering and or finding who you are or want to be. I will stand by your side as you navigate, learn and make the life you want.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
First sessions are always the hardest-you may not know what to expect or what therapy is all about. Don't worry with me those questions and other questions you have about treatment will be answered. My clients can expect to come into a safe and supportive environment. A place where they feel comfortable and confident to be themselves. First session- is the vibe check. Are we a good fit? Do we mesh well? These are questions that my clients can answer by the end of our first session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths as a therapist are that I'm not afraid to be myself and I'm not afraid to make mistakes. With me we will laugh and talk through whatever happens in or out of session- bottom line I am a genuine person. I show my clients this part of me so they know that I am not a robot or perfect. I would never expect my clients to be perfect either; I know that progress is not linear. I take what I need to seriously and the rest we can take lightly. I'm great at meeting my clients where they're at and will always empower my clients to take control of what they can in their lives. I'm here to walk with you and guide you through the messiness that is life. I can't wait to see you!
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Clients that work with me have typically had not so great experiences in therapy before, or maybe are brand new to therapy. My clients are people that are working through the experience of grief, anxiety, depression or even just needing a sounding board. My clients are people who want to learn and are curious about the things that make them tick; if that's not you- trust me we will get there together!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is focused on challenging and reframing thoughts that you have about yourself. I use this type of intervention to help my clients build self esteem and learn more about themselves.
Grief Therapy
Grief is tricky and I know that it is a complicated experience to go through. I practice validation and normalizing all of the emotions that come up when grieving.
Trauma Informed Care
I understand that trauma is out of our control and takes the power away from us making it hard to express yourself or communicate what you are needing. I let me clients always take the driver seat in sessions and control the pace or content we cover.
Gender-affirming therapy
Come as who you are, I will accept and honor your experience and the challenges/success that have come along.
Motivational Interviewing
It's easy to focus on all the things that need to be "fixed" in therapy, but I think it's important to remember where you have succeeded and where you have improved too; so you can remember that you can do hard things.
