What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a genuine and transparent approach to therapy. I believe in fostering an open and honest therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings.

You'll get a therapist who is dedicated to your well-being and who values your unique perspective. I operate with a "no secrets" policy, meaning I believe in transparency and openness in our therapeutic interactions. During our first session, I'll encourage you to ask questions and express any concerns you may have about the therapy process. Together, we'll discuss what you hope to achieve through therapy and outline a plan that feels right for you. My aim is for you to leave our session feeling empowered, understood, and ready to embark on a path of healing and personal growth.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
In my practice, I employ Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients resolve ambivalence and enhance their motivation to change. MI is a client-centered, directive approach that involves collaborative conversations to strengthen a person’s own commitment to and motivation for change. Through techniques such as open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations, I support clients in exploring their own reasons for change and developing a plan to achieve their goals. This approach empowers clients to take an active role in their change process, building their confidence and self-efficacy to make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge distorted thinking patterns and develop healthier behaviors. This evidence-based approach involves working collaboratively with clients to set specific goals and develop practical strategies for change. Through techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and exposure therapy, I assist clients in recognizing the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By teaching clients skills to manage stress, improve problem-solving, and enhance coping mechanisms, CBT empowers them to make positive changes and achieve their therapeutic goals.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice, I utilize Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to help clients identify and build on their existing strengths and resources to find practical solutions to their problems. This goal-oriented, brief therapy approach involves focusing on the present and future rather than delving into past issues. I work collaboratively with clients to set clear, achievable goals and explore what has worked for them in the past. By highlighting clients' successes and encouraging them to envision a preferred future, SFT empowers clients to make positive changes quickly and effectively, enhancing their ability to solve problems and improve their lives.
Forensic Psychology
In my practice, I apply forensic psychology to bridge the gap between psychological expertise and the legal system. This involves conducting assessments related to legal issues, such as competency evaluations, risk assessments, and psychological profiling. I provide expert testimony in court, offering insights into psychological findings that inform legal decisions. By working with law enforcement, attorneys, and the courts, I help ensure that psychological principles are appropriately applied in legal contexts. My role also includes supporting individuals within the criminal justice system, addressing mental health concerns, and facilitating rehabilitation and reintegration. This integration of psychology and law aims to promote justice and improve outcomes within the legal system.
Trauma Informed Care
In my experience with trauma-informed care therapy, I have found it to be an invaluable approach in addressing the complex needs of clients with trauma histories. This method emphasizes creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood and respected. I incorporate several key principles into my practice: ensuring physical and emotional safety, fostering trust through transparency and consistency, and promoting client empowerment by actively involving them in their treatment plans. I tailor my approach to each client's unique background, being sensitive to cultural, historical, and gender-related factors that may influence their experiences. I also focus on recognizing and adapting to trauma responses, using techniques like grounding exercises and mindfulness to help clients manage symptoms. Avoiding re-traumatization is crucial, so I avoid invasive techniques and ensure therapy progresses at a comfortable pace for the client. Additionally, I encourage self-care practices and model healthy boundaries to support overall well-being. This comprehensive, empathetic approach has significantly improved my ability to support clients in their healing journeys and build their resilience.
