I fully believe individuals possess an inherent strength. In that strength lies the courage to embark on a therapeutic journey. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and person-centered, meaning I focus on your unique strengths and values as the foundation for our work together. With over nine years of experience working with adults in both individual and group settings, I am committed to creating a supportive and empowering environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, experiencing specific challenges with your mood, coping with stress, or seeking to deepen your self-understanding, my goal is to partner with you on your journey toward healing and growth. I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities to tailor our sessions to your specific needs and goals. Together, we will uncover the resources within you to foster resilience and create meaningful change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we'll start with brief introductions and then discuss what brings you to therapy. Together we’ll develop a tailored plan to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, my greatest asset is my dedication to building on the strengths each individual possesses to foster personal growth.

Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy is a therapeutic approach that explores the influence of unconscious processes and early life experiences on current behavior and emotions. The goal is to gain insight into inner conflicts, while fostering personal growth and emotional healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be useful in developing practical skills to challenge unhelpful beliefs and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The goal of CBT is to empower individuals to achieve lasting behavioral change by understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals with intense emotions and self-destructive behaviors. It combines individual therapy with skills training in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT emphasizes the balance between acceptance and change while learning practical skills for navigating daily life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy integrates mindfulness practices to aid in developing greater awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in the present moment. This approach encourages non-judgmental observation and acceptance of experiences, which can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. By cultivating mindfulness, clients learn to respond to challenges more effectively, which fosters resilience and overall well-being.
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy focuses on identifying and leveraging an individual’s inherent strengths and resources to promote personal growth and resilience. This approach emphasizes positive aspects of individual experiences and encourages building upon what is already working in an individual's life. By fostering self-efficacy and empowerment, strength-based therapy helps individuals navigate challenges more effectively.
