I am a solution-focused and strengths-based therapist with 8 years of licensed clinical experience. I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges through compassionate care. Everyone is on their own unique path and sometimes we all need a little help along the way. I believe in empowering clients by helping them recognize their inherent abilities and guiding them toward healing and growth. Utilizing a client-centered approach, I honor each person's experiences and focus on supporting them to achieve their goals. Whether addressing the past, present or future; together we will build on abilities and cultivate skills to thrive in all aspects of life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The initial session is a brief introduction to the therapeutic process and getting to know one another. I will ask about your strengths and challenges while discussing what brought you to therapy. We will touch on your past experiences as well as the present. I may even ask about your future aspirations. Through our conversation, I will start to form a plan on how we could best work together toward your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am an empathic and solution focused listener. I strive to help clients recognize their own strengths and how these can be applied to tackle the challenges life can bring.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have had experience in facilitating CBT with individuals, groups, and inpatient settings. CBT can help clients recognize thoughts and behaviors in order to change their outcomes.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have had experience in facilitating ACT with individuals, groups, and inpatient settings. Through acceptance and commitment therapy we can acknowledge that which we cannot change and learn how to better cope while working toward better health.

Rational emotive behavior therapy encourages individuals to recognize those thoughts or actions that aren't helpful and approach their issues in a more immediate and solution focused manner.

I approach every client from a strengths based approach because they are the expert in their lives. We will work to build on their inherent strengths and find solutions that fit their individual journey.
