I have over 10 years experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use disorder, ADHD, bipolar, life stress & the difficulties that arise from these conditions. I use a holistic, client centered approach as you, the client, works collaboratively with me to build an individualized, focused treatment plan that is designed just for you, ensuring we meet all of your needs and goals. I work to ensure that all of my clients are able to identify and use their strengths and provide coping skills throughout the therapeutic process that will create stability, relief from stress, and build confidence that will amplify your progress, leading to peace & success.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we will talk about what you are personally struggling with and would like to address to ensure that we individualize your therapy just for you. Every person is unique, and I will work with you to find the best fit for what your goals, wants, and needs are. I highly value the working therapeutic relationship with all my clients. Our first session is for us to get to know each other better and see if we are a good fit. I want to ensure that my areas of specialties and experience align with you and what you want. I will work collaboratively with you to make sure I best support and serve you the client.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide a reassuring, calm atmosphere that helps clients feel safe and comfortable opening up. My strong sense of empathy allows me to better understand what clients may be dealing with and helps them to feel heard, understood, validated, and supported while also enabling me to help clients reach their goals. My experience allows me to maintain a hopeful and calm energy that supports productive therapy and helps my clients always feel comfortable and safe in our therapy sessions.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Life is challenging under the best of circumstances; often it can feel overwhelming. But you don't have to manage it alone. I can help you better understand your emotions and stress, teach you coping mechanisms that can help you navigate situations and help you find healthy ways to manage life’s stresses. Perhaps you want to improve your self esteem and communication skills to help build healthier relationships. I can help you if you want to build healthier coping skills for depression, stress, and anxiety management. All of this is possible and attainable through therapy. We all deserve peace, happiness, and confidence. With the right tools, you too can find it.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT and holistic client centered approach to teach skills from DBT that helps clients to learn ways to regulate and cope with difficult emotions, improve relationships, decrease anxiety and stress. I also use DBT for building mindfulness skills that supports and provides healthy living habits, offers stability in life while also promoting building a sense of calm happiness and healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients become more aware of emotions and gain a better understanding of thought processes and unhealthy thinking patterns. I support clients to become more aware of how our emotions and thoughts lead us to our behaviors. Working on increasing awareness of uncomfortable emotions helps clients to process and incorporate coping skills to navigate our feelings and working on stopping unhealthy coping skills. I use CBT to put clients in the driver's seat of their own mind and thoughts. Using CBT tools we can learn to recognize unhealthy thinking patterns and challenge our thoughts to ultimately change them so that our minds can become a source of safety, a strength and a support rather than a barrier to a calm, happy, fulfilling life.
