Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Welcome to your first therapy session! This initial meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll start by conducting an initial assessment, where I'll ask you about your history and the current concerns that brought you here. We'll explore your reasons for seeking therapy and discuss the goals you hope to achieve. Together, we'll create a plan on how we can work towards these goals. Feel free to share openly and ask any questions you might have. I'm here to support you every step of the way.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I strive to create a compassionate and understanding environment where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. At the same time, I provide the right amount of challenge to help you make meaningful changes. It is an honor to earn your trust, and I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with many preteens, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, adoption, and family estrangement. Together, we can navigate these challenges and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

You want to feel like you can breathe again, make wise decisions, and conquer the fear that holds you back. Sometimes your mind is filled with self-doubt, worry, and dread of making a decision. Taking a step like starting therapy can be a healthy way for you to awaken the version of yourself you want to be. Imagine a space where your voice matters, where you can express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Our sessions will be that space—a safe haven where you can explore your inner world and find clarity. Together, we'll work on identifying those negative thoughts that cloud your mind and learn how to challenge and change them. Your journey towards feeling better starts with acknowledging your struggles and taking that brave step towards therapy. Let's work together to help you breathe easier, make wise decisions, and become the person you aspire to be. Your voice is important, and our sessions will be a space where it can be heard and valued.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Imagine you're having a tough day and your mind is filled with negative thoughts like "I'm not good enough" or "I'll never succeed." CBT helps you catch these thoughts and challenge them. It's like having a mental toolkit to turn those negative thoughts into more positive and realistic ones.
