I’m a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, specializing in anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can openly explore their challenges and work towards meaningful personal growth. My goal is to assist you in navigating life changes, overcoming obstacles, and achieving a more fulfilling and happier life. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and understanding support throughout your therapeutic journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you can expect to discuss your current concerns, goals, and any challenges you're facing. We’ll work together to understand your needs and develop a clear sense of what you hope to achieve through therapy. I'll also explain my approach and how we can work together to address your concerns. This session is a collaborative space to start building our therapeutic relationship and set a foundation for your journey toward personal growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider are my deep empathy, insightful approach, and commitment to creating a supportive environment. Clients appreciate my ability to truly listen and understand their concerns beyond just the words they speak. I am dedicated to helping clients make real progress with anxiety and long-term issues, providing practical tools for managing life changes and personal challenges. My sessions are described as relaxing and comforting, where clients feel respected, valued, and supported. I aim to foster a space where clients can build self-awareness, reach their own conclusions, and feel genuinely cared for throughout their therapeutic journey.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Throughout my career, I have worked with numerous clients dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. CBT's structured framework and goal-oriented nature have consistently proven valuable in helping clients understand and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. I have seen firsthand how CBT can lead to meaningful, lasting changes in clients' emotional well-being and daily functioning.

Attachment-based

My experience with Attachment Theory has been deeply enriching, providing valuable insights into how early relational patterns shape individuals' emotional lives and interpersonal dynamics. Over the years, I have integrated Attachment Theory into my practice to help clients understand and address issues related to their attachment styles and relationship patterns.

Trauma Informed Care

Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) has been a cornerstone of my therapeutic approach, providing a framework for understanding and addressing the profound impact of trauma on individuals' lives. My experience with TIC has deepened my ability to create a safe, empathetic, and empowering environment for clients who have experienced trauma.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) has been a transformative component of my therapeutic approach, offering clients powerful tools for managing stress, enhancing self-awareness, and fostering emotional resilience. My experience with MBT has deepened my ability to support clients in cultivating a more mindful and balanced approach to their mental health.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) has been a highly effective approach in my therapeutic practice, providing clients with a pragmatic and goal-oriented framework for addressing their concerns. Over the years, I have worked extensively with clients using SFBT, which emphasizes identifying and building on existing strengths and resources to create practical solutions. This method has proven effective for clients seeking short-term therapy and those looking to achieve specific goals efficiently. My training and experience with SFBT have equipped me with the skills to guide clients through a collaborative and solution-oriented process.
