I use a candid and encouraging approach, that helps my clients get to the core of the issues that are preventing them from implementing change. I believe therapy can also be fun but understand that it is a challenging process. I try my best to build a healthy and collaborative relationship with my clients so they can feel comfortable sharing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our initial sessions will be about identifying your goals for therapy and gathering information that will help us build a therapeutic relationship. You can expect to be challenged, empowered, and validated throughout our sessions. Let’s breakthrough the barriers holding you back, so you can step into the life you deserve.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist, is my ability to help my clients feel comfortable in building rapport quickly. I use my knowledge, humor, directness, and practicality, to provide clients with the tools they need to see the change they desire.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Not every thought you think is true. CBT helps identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts to change maladaptive behaviors. Gaining control over your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is the catalyst to seeing the change you desire.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Through ACT, you will learn to understand your feelings, identify your values, develop healthy coping mechanisms to challenge life experiences, learn to commit to actions, so you can live out your values instead of your current emotions.
Relational
I use relational therapy to help you understand how your past experiences may prevent you from forming healthy relationships. By utilizing this method, you'll learn how to build supportive, respectful, and lasting relationships, identify unhealthy thinking patterns linked to relationships, and develop more adaptive coping skills.
