heard and understood, as well as practical, actionable strategies to help you regain a sense of control and direction in your life. Together, we work to make sense of what you’re experiencing and build tools that support real, sustainable change, so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.
First session
In our first session together, we’ll focus on getting comfortable and making sure you feel heard in a safe, non-judgmental space. We will spend some time discussing what’s currently on your mind and what you hope to achieve through our work together. It’s also a great opportunity for you to ask me any questions and see how my therapeutic style aligns with your needs. By the end of the hour, we’ll have a clear starting point and a shared plan for how to move forward toward your goals.
Strengths
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model, so I tailor our sessions to your specific story to help you gain actual insight into your patterns. We’ll work on developing the kind of coping skills that make a difference in your day-to-day life, not just in our sessions. My goal is to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and the emotional growth you're looking for, so you can see tangible improvements in how you function every day.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve individuals who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives and are looking for support navigating emotional challenges, anxiety, stress, and difficult life transitions. My ideal clients are in the action stage of change and motivated to understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and move forward. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical. Together, we will explore patterns, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that may be getting in the way of your well-being while developing strategies that work for you. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can gain insight, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This method empowers them to develop healthier thinking patterns and coping strategies for lasting change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients build psychological flexibility and create a more meaningful life, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions. Rather than focusing on eliminating distress, ACT supports clients in learning how to notice and accept internal experiences without letting them control behavior. We work on clarifying personal values and taking committed, values-based action so you can move forward with greater purpose, resilience, and self-compassion. This approach helps clients respond to challenges more effectively while staying aligned with what matters most to them.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach supports clients in managing intense emotions and improving relationships in a structured, practical way.
