Hello! Are you feeling stuck and struggling to move forward? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Are you finding yourself being self-destructive? I will meet you with compassion, understanding, and a true passion for helping others. By using a strength-based, client centered approach we will explore what is holding you back and work to spark joy back into your life. Whether you're dealing with being overwhelmed, cycles of anxiety and depression, addiction issues, or recovery from trauma. I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow.
In our first session together, my goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing about yourself. We'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to get to know you better—your background, current challenges, and any experiences that feel important to your story. I’ll also explain how therapy works, my approach to supporting clients, and answer any questions you may have. This is a collaborative process, so we'll take time to outline your goals and how we can work together to achieve them. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as you feel ready to, and there’s no pressure to dive into deep topics right away. This session is about starting where you are.
As a therapist, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe, empathetic, and judgment-free environment where clients feel truly heard and supported. I have a deep capacity for compassion and an intuitive understanding of how to meet clients where they are. My approach is collaborative, empowering clients to uncover their strengths and develop tools for navigating life's challenges. I take pride in tailoring my therapeutic methods to the unique needs of each individual. Whether it’s through evidence-based practices or exploring creative approaches, I bring flexibility and attentiveness to every session. Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to balance warmth and professionalism, fostering both trust and growth in our work together.
I’m passionate about supporting adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches, helping clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and cultivate self-compassion. I strive to create a welcoming space where clients feel empowered to explore, grow, and thrive.
As a therapist utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I focus on helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and unhelpful behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that empowers clients to develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve emotional regulation, and foster problem-solving skills. Through collaboration, I guide clients in understanding the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, working together to set practical goals for positive change. My approach emphasizes creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment, where clients feel encouraged to actively participate in their journey toward greater mental health and resilience.
As a therapist specializing in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I work with clients, particularly children, adolescents, and their families, to address the emotional and psychological impact of traumatic experiences. TF-CBT is an evidence-based approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral principles with trauma-sensitive interventions. It emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can process their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and reduce trauma-related symptoms. Through structured sessions, I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, and build resilience. TF-CBT also incorporates family involvement, fostering communication and support within the family unit. My goal is to empower clients to reclaim their sense of safety, trust, and well-being while helping them navigate their healing journey with care and compassion.
In my therapeutic approach, I integrate Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) to help clients cultivate a present-centered awareness and develop a compassionate, non-judgmental relationship with their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Mindfulness-Based Therapy emphasizes grounding techniques and mindfulness exercises, such as breathing practices, body scans, and meditation, to reduce stress, enhance emotional regulation, and improve overall well-being. Through this approach, I guide clients in recognizing and accepting their inner experiences without becoming overwhelmed by them. By focusing on the here and now, clients are empowered to break free from patterns of rumination, self-criticism, or anxiety, fostering a greater sense of balance and resilience. My goal is to create a supportive space for clients to explore and embrace mindfulness as a practical tool for enhancing their mental and emotional health.
As a therapist practicing Solution-Focused Brief Treatment (SFBT), I focus on empowering clients to identify and build on their existing strengths and resources to overcome challenges. SFBT is a goal-oriented, future-focused approach that emphasizes solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Through collaborative conversations, I assist clients in envisioning their desired outcomes and mapping actionable steps toward achieving them. This approach is designed to be practical and efficient, often addressing immediate concerns in a time-sensitive manner. By fostering a sense of hope and highlighting past successes, I guide clients in creating meaningful change and gaining confidence in their ability to navigate life's obstacles. My aim is to provide a supportive, encouraging space where clients feel empowered to unlock their potential and achieve their personal goals.
