I specialize in working with people who are struggling to function in their day-to-day lives helping them build skills, find balance, regain stability and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Together, we'll focus on creating small, meaningful changes that lead to lasting progress.
First session
In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you’d like to work toward. I’ll guide you through questions to better understand your history, current concerns, and goals. We’ll also review important practice policies, expectations, and boundaries so you know what to expect from our work together. Most importantly, we’ll begin exploring what you’d like therapy to look like and whether we’re a good fit moving forward.
Strengths
My approach to therapy is warm, direct and collaborative. I believe growth happens when clients feel supported and challenged, so I create a space where you can feel safe while also being encouraged to step outside your comfort zone. Together, we'll identify patterns, build new skills and work toward meaningful change.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is an adult who may be struggling with depression, stress, relationship concerns, or difficulty coping with life’s challenges and transitions. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward and are looking for a supportive space to better understand themselves and develop healthier ways of coping. I work best with clients who are open to self-reflection, gaining new perspectives, and actively participating in the therapeutic process as we work toward meaningful and realistic goals.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and learn new ways of coping. In sessions, we work together to understand how thoughts, feeling and behaviors connect, and I provide practical tools you can use in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize DBT to support clients in building skills for managing emotions, improving relationships and handling stress in healthier ways. Together, we practice strategies like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and effective communication to feel more balanced and in control of your daily life.
