Hi there!
By taking a compassionate and warm approach, I help my clients heal from the past and make meaningful change in the present. My priority is to build authentic, honest relationships with my clients. Through building a trusting relationship, my hope is that you feel comfortable to explore your emotions and unpack past experiences that may be hindering you in your present life. I believe therapy should be engaging, supportive, and responsive.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Through working together, I help my clients understand their story, gain freedom from their past, and move toward a more fulfilling life. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, and I am here to listen, help foster personal growth, and alleviate suffering.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, comfort throughout the therapy process is a primary goal

My treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Depending on what someone is going through and their specific goals, I use ACT specifically to help a person accept their thoughts and feelings rather than eliminate them. This encourages a person to value acceptance and the importance of living in line with their values. ACT helps a person identify those values and commit to actions that align with those values, even in the prescence of difficult thoughts or emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is goal-oriented therapy, which is a good fit for every person. No matter what they're going through. I love using CBT to help identify a negative thought pattern and change that thought pattern and behavior that can contribute to emotional distress. CBT helps to challenge and reframe negative beliefs and develop more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I like to incorporate Mindfulness Based Therapy into my practice. It is a therapeutic approach that brings in mindfulness practices such as meditation, breathing exercises, and self-awareness techniques to help individuals become more present in the moment and develop a non-judgemental awareness of their thoughts. emotions, and sensations.
Strength-Based
Emphasis on identifying and building upon the strengths and positive qualities of the client. This approach helps to see people as inherently capable individuals who have the capacity to overcome challenges and improve their lives. By using this approach, we will as a team identify strengths, values, skills, and resources to develop strategies for positive change and work towards achieving your desired outcome.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution Focused Brief Treatment is a goal oriented and future focused therapy approach that aims to help clients identify and work towards solutions rather than focusing on problems. We will envision your desired future and identify what is already working well and develop specific actionable steps to move closer to your goals.
