What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I'll create a trusting, non-judgmental atmosphere. We'll explore your needs and goals, fostering open communication and understanding. By establishing this foundation of trust, we'll determine if we're the right fit to work together on your path to healing and growth. You'll leave with a clear sense of our therapeutic direction and a greater sense of confidence that you can reach your goals.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
With extensive experience in Person-Centered Therapy, I focus on creating a therapeutic environment rooted in empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard. I guide clients in their journey of self-discovery, helping them explore their emotions and identify strengths. This method empowers clients to take charge of their healing process, fostering greater self-awareness and emotional resilience. By providing a supportive, non-judgmental space, I enable clients to develop healthier coping mechanisms and achieve personal growth.
Eclectic
I customize treatment plans to suit each client's unique needs. By selecting and combining techniques from various therapeutic approaches, I ensure the most effective methods are employed to address specific issues and goals. This flexible approach allows me to provide personalized care that adapts to the evolving needs of my clients, supporting their journey towards emotional well-being and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My extensive experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has allowed me to help clients recognize and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. In practice, I use CBT to work collaboratively with clients, setting specific goals and developing practical strategies to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. By focusing on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, I empower clients to develop healthier coping mechanisms and achieve lasting change. This structured, evidence-based approach supports clients in building resilience and improving their overall mental well-being
