Get to know me

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

In our first session, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other and talk about the challenges you’re currently facing. This will allow us to create a personalized plan tailored to your needs as we move forward. I believe in honest, open communication, and my style is warm, direct, and sprinkled with a bit of humor to help you feel at ease. Together, we’ll build a supportive space where you can feel understood and empowered.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I specialize in providing individual counseling for individuals experiencing anxiety and depression stemming from past traumatic experiences or significant life transitions, such as breakups or divorce. My approach is strength-based and empathetic, designed to help you navigate challenges, build resilience, and address the factors affecting your overall quality of life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are individuals navigating life transitions, whether it’s starting a new chapter, facing unexpected changes, or feeling stuck in the midst of uncertainty. I work with those who may feel overwhelmed by depression or anxiety, helping them to regain a sense of balance and purpose. These are people who are ready to explore their thoughts and emotions in a supportive space, seeking clarity and tools to overcome challenges. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful growth and lasting change.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) places focus on a person's present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences. In this goal-oriented therapy, the symptoms or issues bringing a person to therapy are typically not targeted.
