The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Some of my specialties include self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, menopause, relational conflict, communication struggles, and ADHD. My clients are struggling with life’s transitions. They may have relationship struggles like dating, mastering interpersonal skills, hormonal shifts, moments of sadness, marital concerns, parenting, menopause, career goals, communication, decision-making skills, grief/loss, academic interventions, and/or finances.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My work with clients focuses on navigating life’s transitions that can bring about physical, emotional, and psychological changes. My approach is rooted in mindfulness, emotional regulation, and coping strategies to equip you to become the best version of yourself. This includes the ability to tell your own story and embrace your distinct identity. Our journey typically takes 6 to 8 sessions of a combination of evidence-based therapies, like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Most clients see decreased symptoms within a month and consistent improvement after that.
