Hello! With 11 years of experience as a dedicated therapist, I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief and stress. My approach is rooted in partnership-I believe that healing and growth happen best when we work together. As your therapist, I am here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard and supported. I'll walk alongside you, offering guidance and tools tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're seeking clarity, resilience, or relief, my mission is to help you find balance and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. Let's take this journey together. You don't have to face it along.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first therapy session with me, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we'll begin to build a strong foundation for our work together. This initial session is about getting to know you-your concerns, experiences, and goals for therapy. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and any challenges you've been facing. I'll also ask questions to better understand your background, strengths, and current circumstances. This session is not about diving into everything at once but creating a roadmap for your journey. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, share at your own pact, and discuss what you're looking for in a therapist. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, respected, and comfortable as we take this first step together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I bring empathy and concern by creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients to feel heard and understood. I bring an active partnership by partnering with clients in their journey and empowering them to take an active role in their healing. I bring a deep expertise in working with grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma due to my 11 years of experience. I have a calm and steady demeanor that helps clients feel at ease, even when addressing deeply emotional topics. I focus not just on my client's challenges, but also on my client's strengths, which helps to rebuild a sense of hope and resilience.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT for almost 10 years with my clients. I begin by understanding their needs my client's issues, including their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I collaborate with my clients to set specific goals. I assist my client in understanding CBT principles helping them understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I assist them with identifying and recording their negative thoughts. We work on challenging their negative thoughts and reframing them into more balanced and positive ones.
Couples Counseling
I enjoy assisting couples in identifying not only their own individual issues, but also their issues as a couple, which lead to negative aspects in their relationships.
Attachment-based
I use attachment-based techniques to assist individuals in finding attachment and helping children feel attachment after trauma.
Family Therapy
I use family therapy to assist families in working through the hardest of communication and barriers to family functioning.
