As a therapist who specializes in a person-centered approach, I provide a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space for adults seeking to explore and understand their emotions, behaviors, and life experiences. I work with individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and relationship struggles, helping them build a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. By fostering a genuine, compassionate therapeutic relationship, I empower clients to tap into their inner strengths and make positive changes at their own pace. Through this collaborative process, clients often experience increased clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience, enabling them to lead more authentic and fulfilling lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect to experience a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where they can begin to explore their concerns and goals. The therapist will take time to understand the client’s background, current struggles, and what has brought them to therapy, helping to establish a strong sense of trust and safety. This session typically includes discussing the therapist’s approach and setting goals for therapy, while also providing an opportunity for clients to ask questions and share their expectations. The therapist may guide the conversation with open-ended questions to better understand the client’s thoughts and feelings, but the focus will be on making the client feel heard, supported, and comfortable. By the end of the session, clients should have a clearer sense of what to expect moving forward and how the therapist can help them work toward meaningful change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist with extensive experience working with adults and healthcare professionals in hospital settings, the community, and in addiction and mental health treatment centers, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by those in high-stress, caregiving roles. I have a proven track record of helping individuals navigate burnout, compassion fatigue, and the emotional toll of working in high-pressure environments. My background also includes supporting clients struggling with addiction, trauma, and mental health concerns, offering tailored interventions that integrate empathy, practical tools, and a focus on long-term recovery. One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can openly express their struggles without fear of judgment. I bring a strengths-based approach, helping clients recognize their resilience and tap into their inner resources. My experience in both individual and group therapy settings allows me to offer a range of techniques—from cognitive-behavioral strategies to mindfulness and trauma-informed care—ensuring that each client receives a personalized treatment plan. I also deeply value the importance of self-care and mental health within professional settings, and I work to empower my clients to find a sustainable balance in both their personal and professional lives.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps clients develop psychological flexibility by encouraging them to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding or fighting them. Through mindfulness techniques, clients learn to observe their internal experiences without judgment. This approach empowers clients to live more authentically, aligning their behavior with what truly matters to them.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy focuses on the impact of early relationships, particularly with primary caregivers, on a client's emotional development and current relational patterns. By exploring these attachment experiences, the therapist helps clients understand how their past influences their behavior, trust, and emotional regulation in present-day relationships. This process allows clients to heal from past wounds, build healthier connections, and develop a more secure sense of self.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
With culturally sensitive therapy, the therapist prioritizes understanding and respecting a client's cultural background, values, and experiences. She takes time to learn about the client's cultural context, including how identity factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, and socioeconomic status influence their worldview and mental health. The therapist ensures that the interventions are relevant, respectful, and affirming of the client's cultural identity.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy helps clients cultivate awareness of their present moment experience through techniques such as focused breathing, body scans, and mindful observation. By integrating mindfulness into the therapeutic process, the therapist supports clients in reducing stress, increasing emotional regulation, and developing a deeper connection to their thoughts and behaviors.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
A therapist using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in her practice focuses on helping clients identify their strengths and resources to overcome challenges. Rather than delving deeply into past issues, she guides clients to envision their preferred future and explore practical steps to achieve their goals. The therapist fosters a collaborative environment where clients can build on their existing successes to create meaningful, lasting change in a relatively short period of time.
