I know life can be overwhelming, especially during big changes or when anxiety, depression, trauma, imposter syndrome, or low self-esteem take a toll. If you're an adult (18+) feeling stuck or weighed down, you're not alone. I'm here to help you make meaningful changes, break free from negative thought patterns, and build self-compassion. Together, we’ll address stress and anxiety, guiding you toward a life aligned with your goals. You deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you achieve lasting emotional well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, the “intake session,” you can expect a supportive environment where we get to know each other. I understand that reaching out for therapy is a big step, so I aim to make it as comfortable as possible. This session allows you to share your story and experiences and understand how we might work together to support your goals. The intake session focuses on building trust and creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to express your thoughts and feelings. Therapy works best when there’s a genuine connection, so we’ll determine if we’re a good fit. If you feel nervous, that’s normal—I encourage you to share any concerns. I’ll ask questions to understand your background, including family, relationships, career, and major life events. This is about understanding your unique context, not labeling. We’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any past mental health history or coping strategies. Through this session, we’ll outline a roadmap tailored to your needs, setting the stage for your journey toward growth and healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider lies in my authenticity, empathy, and deep understanding of the challenges my clients face. I bring a compassionate and relatable approach, meeting clients where they are and creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where they feel comfortable sharing openly. My personal experiences with life’s challenges give me a genuine understanding that resonates with clients, making me a guide who truly "gets it." My ability to tailor my methods—whether through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, or Interpersonal Therapy—demonstrates my adaptability and dedication to finding what works best for each individual. I'm skilled at helping clients develop self-compassion, break free from negative thought patterns, and reconnect with their strengths, empowering them to move forward with resilience and confidence. Additionally, my focus on building a collaborative, supportive relationship with clients is a profound strength. I offer both guidance and validation, helping clients not only to manage immediate concerns but also to experience long-term personal growth. By fostering self-awareness and helping clients align their lives with their values and goals, I offer a therapeutic experience that’s both transformative and deeply rooted in empathy and understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I know firsthand that life can be overwhelming—especially when anxiety, depression, trauma, or self-doubt seem to overshadow everything. If you're feeling stuck, weighed down by negative thoughts, or struggling with low self-esteem, you're not alone. Many people experience times when they feel lost or uncertain, and it takes real courage to reach out for support. In our work together, I'll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you break free from the patterns that might be keeping you feeling stuck. CBT is all about noticing and challenging unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that contribute to anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. Together, we'll identify these thought patterns, explore where they come from, and practice ways to shift them. You’ll learn practical tools to manage stress, overcome self-critical thoughts, and build confidence. My goal is to meet you where you are, offering support that's tailored to your unique journey and challenges. With CBT, we'll work on building self-compassion, so you can start to see yourself through a kinder lens. Step by step, we'll tackle your stressors, alleviate anxiety, and help you align with your personal goals—empowering you to create lasting emotional well-being. You don’t have to do this alone.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In our work together, I’ll use Mindfulness-Based Therapy to help you reconnect with the present moment and break free from the grip of negative thoughts and self-criticism. Mindfulness is all about being aware of what's happening right now—your thoughts, emotions, and even your physical sensations—without judging them. By cultivating this non-judgmental awareness, we can start to understand your triggers, shift how you relate to difficult emotions, and learn to respond more intentionally rather than react automatically. With mindfulness, we’ll focus on building self-compassion and slowing down, giving you tools to manage stress and anxiety as they arise. Together, we'll create space for you to breathe, observe, and let go of what no longer serves you. This work isn’t about “fixing” you; it's about helping you embrace where you are right now and make small, meaningful changes that bring you closer to your goals. You deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you find lasting emotional well-being—one mindful step at a time.
Interpersonal
In our work together, I’ll use Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to help you explore how your relationships and social interactions impact your emotional well-being. IPT focuses on the important connections in your life, identifying how certain patterns in relationships may contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. Together, we’ll work on improving communication skills, setting healthy boundaries, and building stronger, more fulfilling relationships. This approach will also help you address specific life transitions, like job changes, relationship shifts, or personal challenges that might be weighing on you. We’ll work to understand and strengthen your support system so that it better aligns with your goals and helps you feel more grounded and connected. Through our sessions, you’ll gain practical tools to build self-compassion, manage stressors, and navigate relationships with more confidence. You deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you find lasting emotional well-being. With IPT, we’ll work together to create positive changes that empower you to live a life that feels more aligned, connected, and fulfilling.
