Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Many times, setting up an appointment is the most challenging part because we are unsure of what to expect. What you can expect from our sessions is to have a safe space where you can share your feelings, struggles and/or problems in a judgement free zone with a game plan on how to navigate and address the issues.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate and engaging. It is important to remember that we come to therapy with some hesitation and being able to provide a safe space is key. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore how our feelings influence our decisions and behaviors. Therapy allows the opportunity to develop the tools to bring awareness to us and patterns that impact challenging emotions and/or behaviors.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

For most of my career I have worked with adolescents and families, addressing the family dynamics and the impact our relationships play in our roles and relationships with others. The last 5 years, I have worked with individuals both adolescents and adults who are struggling with substance use disorders. In my experience, substance use disorder and mental health go hand and hand. While addressing the "root" of the addiction and behaviors, we learn new ways to cope with stressors and negative behaviors. I empower individuals to work through anxiety and depression with compassion and hope.
