I understand that life comes at us hard and the weight of anxiety, depression and daily demands can kick up our trauma symptoms resulting in complications at home, work and a general sense of “who am I?!" I use humor and a down-to-Earth approach, even over telehealth, with compassionate and creative methods to help my clients ease symptoms and feel more confident in a non-judgmental, supportive and affirming environment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session we will gather background information, review treatment goals and expectations for therapy as well as, dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The feedback I receive from my clients is that they enjoy the fact I am proactive and care about their wellbeing, I am actively engaged in sessions and I provide direction in the therapy assignments I provide as well as, humor and relatability.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use a creative approach to the evidence-based practices, engaging my clients in positive change to thwart the unhelpful thinking traps which keep client's stuck in a loop of behaviors that hold them back from achieving goals, moving forward and feeling more positive about themselves.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I engage clients in self awareness of feelings and thoughts to move through emotional situations and engage in more positive interactions with others, including setting healthy emotional boundaries for more balanced and positive relationships with themselves and with others. This creative approach aids my clients in achieving a more regulated emotional wellbeing.
Psychoanalytic
I use psychoanalytic therapy with a trauma-informed lens to help my clients explore and understand how their past experiences influence their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I aid my clients in moving through their past experiences, crafting a new narrative and repairing their unhealed, fractured selves.
