Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental environment where we can explore what tools might be helpful for you, and maybe even laugh a little! I have 15 years of experience in the field and I have been certified in researched, evidence-based therapies that we can try together, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), CPT, Motivational Interviewing and Seeking Safety. I'm here to help you find solutions that will help improve your life and help you connect with your values. We can try out several different research backed therapies until we find what is most helpful for you.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session we will explore the issues you've been facing and start to identify what goals might be helpful for you in therapy moving forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have experience working with clients with many different and unique issues. Our sessions can be highly structured with worksheets or they can can be more open ended, whatever you feel works best for you. I'm a certified Cognitive Behavorial Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) provider. CBT-I is a highly researched, structured treatment for insomnia that helps you change unhelpful sleep habits and thoughts, restore healthy sleep patterns, and improve long-term rest.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I often work with clients who struggle with feeling like they can't control their worries, and are having difficulties sleeping. I also work with many clients experiencing daily sadness and depression, work stress and burnout, the effects of trauma, and clients managing chronic health conditions like HIV. In addition, I have many years of experience helping clients who identify as LGBTQ+ and are looking for an affirming, understanding space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
I'm a certified Cognitive Behavorial Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) provider. CBT-I is a highly researched, structured treatment for insomnia that helps you change unhelpful sleep habits and thoughts, restore healthy sleep patterns, and improve long-term rest.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and depression. I work collaboratively with clients to build practical coping skills, challenge negative self-talk, and develop healthier responses to stress. CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and focused on creating meaningful, lasting change in daily life.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions so they have less control over your life. Together, we focus on reconnecting with your values and taking meaningful steps toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a supportive approach that helps you explore your own reasons for change and build motivation at your own pace. We will identify your goals, values, and strengths to create a clear, achievable path toward the changes you want in your life.
