LCPC, 10 years of experience
Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapist–client relationship is the strongest predictor of positive outcomes in therapy. My style is direct yet compassionate, relaxed yet professional. I value a collaborative approach, where you are an active participant in your own healing. Together, we’ll explore the ‘whys’ behind your choices, identify patterns of negative thinking and behavior, and understand how they impact your daily life—creating space for meaningful change.
During our discovery call, my goal is to understand what brings you to therapy, how these challenges are affecting your life, your preferences in approach or style, and the goals you hope to achieve.
I love working with clients who are new to therapy or just beginning to explore different approaches. I know starting this journey can feel overwhelming, and I’m here to make the process feel supportive and empowering. I am committed to guiding and educating you as you navigate critical challenges, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way. Together, we’ll work through any worries you may have about therapy.
I look forward to collaborating with individuals who value accountability in pursuing their goals, are open to evidence-based interventions, and appreciate the role of humor in the process.
We work together as a team in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We aim to set personal objectives, develop strategies, and track progress. I'm really passionate about assisting clients in improving their emotional intelligence and educating them about their mental health so they can take an active role in their treatment. Together, we'll practice evidence-based interventions to reframe negative thoughts, develop healthy behaviors, and gain practical skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven psychotherapy approach aimed at reducing the distress caused by traumatic memories. It is highly effective in treating childhood trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but has also shown to be useful for addressing other mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and complicated grief. Through bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain process traumatic memories and associated emotions, creating space for healing and progress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an effective form of therapy that emphasizes accepting your thoughts and feelings, and then using your values to guide your actions. We will collaborate to release unhelpful thoughts, embrace difficult emotions, and live in a way that aligns with what's important to you.
