Helping others is at the core of my purpose, and I am committed to offering the same dedicated support to you throughout our work together.
In our first session, we’ll start with warm introductions to help you feel comfortable and at ease. From there, we’ll explore what therapy looks like and what you can expect along the way. My goal is to ensure you feel supported, informed, and confident in our work together. Next, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy, discussing the challenges you’re facing and what led you to seek support. This is your space to share openly and honestly and I’m here to listen, understand, and support you. From there, we’ll collaborate to create a personalized plan tailored to your goals and aspirations. Whether you're working to overcome obstacles, strengthen relationships, or cultivate inner peace, your journey will shape our path forward. Remember, this is just the start. As we go along, we’ll check in on your goals, celebrate progress, and adjust things as needed. I’m here to support you every step of the way, and I’m excited to see the positive changes ahead.

Whether you're navigating life transitions, dealing with relationship challenges, managing stress, or battling depression or anxiety, I’m here to support you. There's so much more I can assist with, all tailored to your unique needs. I find deep fulfillment in working with children, teens, families, and couples by helping them overcome challenges while fostering connection, growth, and resilience.

I am devoted to bring energy and enthusiasm to every session.
In my practice, I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of therapeutic strategies and techniques to best meet the needs of each individual client. One of the primary methods I often employ is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, my clients and I work collaboratively to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. This involves assessing their concerns, setting achievable goals, challenging negative thoughts, practicing new skills, and regularly reviewing progress. My aim is to empower my clients to develop more adaptive ways of coping with their challenges. Additionally, I integrate Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) into my practice. With SFT, we focus on exploring solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This means identifying specific goals, highlighting strengths and resources, using scaling questions, identifying exceptions to problems, assigning homework, and regularly evaluating progress. Through this collaborative and practical approach, I help my clients evoke positive change by focusing on solutions and building on their existing strengths. Furthermore, stress reduction methods are an integral part of my therapeutic approach. I offer various techniques, such as mindfulness, relaxation exercises, stress management skills, and behavior activation, to help my clients alleviate their stress levels and improve their overall quality of life. My goal is to empower my clients to better manage their stress and cultivate a greater sense of well-being. Overall, my approach to therapy is client-centered and flexible, tailored to meet the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each individual I work with. By integrating different therapeutic modalities and emphasizing collaboration and empowerment, I strive to support my clients in their journey towards personal growth and positive change.
