Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session with me is all about creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. We’ll take time to explore what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and any questions or concerns you may have about the process. I’ll also explain confidentiality, answer any logistical questions, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling understood, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What sets my approach apart is the balance I strike between clinical precision and compassionate connection. I don’t just offer techniques — I offer a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, collaboration, and emotional safety. Above all, I create a space where clients feel safe to explore, grow, and heal — at their own pace, with support that’s both structured and deeply human.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in working with individuals who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of self-doubt, or disconnected from their sense of self. I’m especially attuned to clients navigating: -Anxiety, depression, or grief, who seek relief and emotional clarity -Low self-esteem or self-sabotage, and want to rebuild confidence and self-worth -Relationship challenges, including emotional manipulation, co-parenting stress, or boundary violations -Ambivalence about change, where motivational interviewing and values-based strategies can foster insight and momentum -Adults, who benefit from empathetic, validating communication and collaborative problem-solving My ideal clients are often: *Reflective but unsure, seeking a safe space to explore their thoughts and emotions. *Ready to grow, even if they feel afraid or uncertain *Looking for practical tools, emotional support, and a therapist who meets them with warmth and honesty

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a cornerstone of my therapeutic work. I use it to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop balanced perspectives, and build coping strategies that support emotional resilience.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
i incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients build psychological flexibility — the ability to stay present, accept difficult emotions, and take action aligned with their values. ACT complements my work with clients navigating ambivalence, emotional dysregulation, and self-sabotage.
Compassion Focused
I integrate Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to support clients struggling with shame, self-criticism, and emotional wounds from past experiences. CFT provides a framework for cultivating self-compassion, emotional safety, and resilience — especially for those who have internalized negative beliefs or experienced relational trauma.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in developing emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT’s structured yet compassionate approach aligns well with my commitment to helping clients navigate intense emotions and relational challenges.
