I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a doctoral candidate specializing in traumatology. I am passionate about helping individuals who are navigating trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can heal, grow, and build resilience. I believe therapy should be a positive addition to your life, fostering empowerment, growth, and lasting change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy. I will ask about your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy, so I can better understand your unique needs. Together, we will explore the best ways to move forward and develop a plan tailored to help you heal, grow, and achieve your goals. The session will be focused on building rapport, ensuring you feel heard, and setting a foundation for our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable opening up and sharing their experiences. I am compassionate, empathetic, and skilled at building rapport, which helps establish trust early on. Additionally, my expertise in trauma-informed care and evidence-based approaches allows me to tailor strategies that best meet each client’s unique needs. I am dedicated to empowering clients, helping them develop coping skills, and guiding them through the healing process with patience and understanding.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In my practice, I use CBT with both youth and adults to promote emotional regulation, problem-solving, and healthier thinking patterns.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-Centered Therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasizes unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. In my practice, I use this method to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, accepted, and empowered to explore their experiences and make their own choices.
Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma-focused CBT is an evidence-based treatment designed to help clients overcome the emotional and psychological impact of trauma. In my practice, I use TF-CBT to address trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger, and behavioral challenges.
