In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then see if we have a “vibe”. Positive therapeutic relationship is important for growth, and before we move forward, we need to make sure we’re a good fit. If you’ve decided to move forward, we’ll discuss the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help to create a plan and goals for follow-up sessions.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I am versed in many therapeutic models, with strategies being determined by the individuals needs and developed goals. Methods utilized are evidenced based.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

integrate person‑centered therapy as a foundation of my work, creating a warm, non‑judgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. My ability to attune to clients’ emotional experiences helps them feel safe enough to explore difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach strengthens the therapeutic alliance and often leads to increased self‑awareness, emotional openness, and a deeper sense of personal agency. I also utilize cognitive‑behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more adaptive ways of thinking. Through structured exercises, cognitive reframing, and collaborative problem‑solving, I guide clients in understanding how their thoughts influence their emotions and behaviors. Clients frequently report improved coping skills, reduced emotional distress, and greater confidence in managing daily challenges. My strength lies in blending these approaches in a flexible, responsive way. I shift between reflective exploration and skills‑based interventions depending on what the client needs in the moment. This adaptability allows clients to feel both supported and empowered, fostering meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for them. I consistently help clients connect their internal experiences to their long‑term goals. Whether through CBT worksheets, values exploration, or open‑ended dialogue, I support clients in recognizing patterns, challenging limiting beliefs, and building healthier habits. As a result, clients often experience increased clarity, improved emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of direction in their lives. Overall, my therapeutic approach helps clients develop insight, build resilience, and make sustainable changes that align with their values. The combination of empathy, structure, and collaboration allows clients to feel understood while also gaining practical tools to move forward.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to seek change, curious about self, ready to be challenged, and open to creative therapeutic strategies.
