What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you'll feel heard, understood, and supported right from the start. We'll take the time to get to know each other, allowing you to share your story, concerns, and goals in a safe and non-judgmental space. Together, we'll explore what brings you to therapy, identifying areas of focus and setting intentions for our work together. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, express any worries or uncertainties, and learn more about how our sessions will unfold. I'll provide guidance and insight tailored to your unique needs, offering practical strategies and tools to help you navigate challenges and cultivate greater well-being. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer understanding of the therapeutic process and feel empowered to take meaningful steps toward positive change and growth. Remember, this is just the beginning of our journey together, and I'm committed to supporting you every step of the way.

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
In my practice, I use EMDR to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences. With EMDR, we work together to reframe distressing memories, allowing you to move past them and regain control over your life. This method has been transformative for many of my clients, offering relief and fostering resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use CBT to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, we work together to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and other challenges. This approach empowers you to make meaningful changes and improve your overall well-being.
Brainspotting
In my practice, I use Brainspotting as an adjunct therapy to deepen the healing process. This powerful technique helps access and resolve trauma stored in the brain by focusing on specific eye positions. Combined with other therapeutic approaches, Brainspotting can enhance our work together, helping you release emotional blocks and achieve greater mental clarity and well-being.
