Genuineness and empathetic response cultivated by a healthy relationship promote a sense of belonging and self-worth, which each individual needs and is what I bring to each session.

First session
In your first session, you can expect background information gathering and rapport building, along with space to discuss what brings you to therapy and your goals—an essential foundation for developing a personalized plan of action for your care.
Strengths
I believe relationships are central to coping with life’s challenges, and I bring genuineness, empathy, and a collaborative presence to each session to foster belonging, strengthen self-worth, and support meaningful growth.
Ideal clients
My ideal patient is an individual who is ready to actively engage in the therapeutic process and take meaningful action toward positive change. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, or life transitions, and are open to exploring how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence their well-being. They are willing to reflect, practice new coping strategies, and collaborate on realistic goals that support lasting growth.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an empirically supported that utilizes a present-focused and problem-specific approach to psychotherapy. In my experience, individuals will learn means of healthy coping to better manage the identified issues or problems faced in their lives. The skills learned during session are intended to modify problematic thinking, behaviors, and physiological responses that maintain and/or exacerbate one’s felt distress in day-to-day life.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy that has been effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD that can develop after experiencing a number of traumatic events including abuse, combat, rape and/or natural disasters. With this process, I have found individuals gain a better understanding of their experiences, reactions and healthier means of coping.
