I create a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients to explore and process through self-reflection. I have an obligation to help my clients find their inner strengths and empower them to improve their own lives. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and while resilience matters, there are moments when extra support can make a meaningful difference. I work with individuals who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and are looking for guidance, insight, and practical tools to move forward. In therapy, I help clients build healthy coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. My approach focuses on increasing awareness of thoughts and emotions to better understand challenges and develop effective, lasting solutions. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, and substance abuse/misuse.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, I will inquire about your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve from sessions. This helps me design a treatment plan based on your needs and what will work best to keep you engaged between sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked with the addictions population, the geriatric population, and children's outpatient mental health, this diverse clientele has allowed me to enhance my practice and become a well-rounded clinician through collaborative treatment approaches. I believe in creating a safe space for you to freely express yourself and discover your own abilities to heal.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I partner best with clients who are motivated, curious, and open to pushing past their comfort zone to unlock meaningful change.
Integrative
I use an integrative approach involving Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. By using CBT, I will help bring awareness to thought patterns and feelings to motivate changes to improve your way of life. By using Solution-Focused Therapy, I will help you change by creating solutions rather than focusing on the problem.
