Welcome to a space where your well-being takes center stage. As your prospective therapist, my purpose revolves around understanding and supporting you through the unique challenges life presents. I recognize that reaching out for therapy can be both empowering and daunting. Let's embark on this journey together, focusing on what you're going through and tailoring our sessions to your specific needs. Whether you're navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work-related stress, or any other personal hurdles, my commitment is to create a safe and compassionate environment.

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

In our first session, you can expect a warm and inviting space where introductions are more than formalities—they're the first threads of our therapeutic relationship. We'll explore your past experiences, understanding the unique tapestry that shapes you. This initial conversation is a canvas where your preferences and goals guide our collaborative journey. Together, we'll set the tone for a therapeutic experience tailored to your needs, ensuring every session feels like a step towards understanding, growth, and positive change.

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

My greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to provide compassion, non judgement and empathy. I love to find and hone in on your strengths that will help you achieve your therapy goals. I am skilled at being able to educate clients effectively on how to use tools and information that can be applied in the real world.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In our sessions, we'll work hand-in-hand to navigate challenges, reshape thought patterns, and cultivate positive change. Your unique experience is at the forefront, driving our exploration towards lasting well-being and empowerment. Let's embark on this path together, where your goals and growth take center stage.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Embark on a journey of self-discovery with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as our guiding light. In our sessions, we'll explore the power of acceptance, allowing you to embrace life's challenges with resilience and courage. With commitment as our compass, we'll chart a course towards values-aligned actions, creating a meaningful and authentic life. Let's collaborate on a transformative adventure where acceptance becomes the foundation for positive change.

Strength-Based

With Solution-Focused Therapy we'll celebrate your strengths, uncover possibilities, and co-create practical solutions for positive change. Our focus will be on the present and future, where your goals shape our exploration. Together, we'll turn aspirations into tangible steps, making each session a dynamic and uplifting experience on the path to your desired outcomes. Let's weave solutions into the fabric of your story, crafting a narrative of growth and success.

Trauma Informed Care

Imagine what it feels like to carry a heavy burden – years of carrying the effects of trauma gone in a single ART session. Unbelievable? This is what can happen with your ART-trained therapist and reprogramming distressing images and memories that have been stored in your brain and now, no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions.
