First session
During your intake, it's important we begin to build rapport that will be the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. We will discuss expectations and goals for therapy and each other and will work collaboratively to identify areas in need of focus and improvement. My commitment to you will be to support your process of exploration and transformation with gentle acceptance and belief.
Strengths
As a licensed therapist I am able to draw on my professional and personal experiences to help people process their experiences and find the relief they're seeking in therapy. My priority is creating a healing space of compassion and understanding to promote positive change and growth.
Ideal clients
I'm excited to work collaboratively with female-identifying individuals to develop a therapeutic approach that makes sense for them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, or just feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, I’m here to help you build the skills and insights you need to overcome these hurdles and achieve a sense of balance and fulfillment. Together, we will explore how to improve your emotional well-being, set healthy boundaries, and develop a more positive relationship with yourself and others.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to shift them, leading to positive changes in how you feel and respond to challenges. My goal is to provide you with effective tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns, so you can build resilience and create lasting, meaningful change in your life.
Strength-Based
I believe that you have unique strengths, resilience, and abilities that can help you navigate life’s challenges. In our work together, I take a strengths-based approach, focusing on what’s already working for you rather than just what feels difficult. My goal is to help you recognize and build upon your natural skills and resources so you can feel more empowered, confident, and capable. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or looking for personal growth, we’ll work together to uncover and maximize your strengths to create meaningful, lasting change.
