My therapeutic approach is based on a collaborative, integrative framework aimed at helping clients enhance self-awareness and develop effective coping skills. I frequently employ a variety of interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to explore self-talk and integrate self-compassion, while also teaching mindfulness techniques, and more. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients feel safe to explore their concerns.

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

During our first session, we will get to know each other. I will ask you several questions about who you are, how you relate to others, what bothers you, what your therapy goals are, etc. You will also learn a little bit about who I am as a therapist. Here, we will determine if we are a good fit, and if so, schedule our next follow up appointment.

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

My biggest strengths as a provider are my ability to pick up on clients' self-talk, as well as my attentiveness to how clients interact with/relate to others in social relationships (e.g., exploring communication styles, boundaries, etc.).
