I work from an integrative solution-focused and strength-based approach. I believe you are the expert on yourself. My role is to help you identify and learn to leverage the resources you already have available and tap into the ones you've yet to discover. I can help you learn to recognize and name the challenges that may be preventing you from reaching your goals. Together, we can create and incorporate alternate strategies to broaden and enrich your perspective and success. I look forward to working with you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Can you imagine a version of yourself where you feel powerful, again? Where you recapture the feelings of purpose and meaning, even in the face of uncertainty and adversity? A place where relationships bring joy and add to your life? Therapy can help you discover hope, see the light even when things appear dark, and build valuable life skills to empower you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a counselor include creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe and valued. I excel at identifying each individual's unique strengths and utilizing them to facilitate meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored specifically to meet each client's personal goals and needs.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Do any of the following resonate with you? You constantly worry or think of the worst-case scenario. Your mind is working overtime, leaving you exhausted. You don’t feel seen, heard, or valued by people in your life. You’re coping through unhealthy ways that you know aren't good for you or your relationships. You become angry, overwhelmed, or shut down when tough stuff arises with your partner, children, or work. Your past changed the way you feel about yourself and it’s hard to move forward. You experienced a loss and feel numb or in pain.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist clients in managing anxiety and depression by addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors. This approach empowers individuals to take control of their emotions and responses, fostering resilience and well-being. By integrating CBT techniques, I help clients develop practical coping strategies to navigate life's challenges more effectively.
Couples Counseling
In my couples counseling practice, I support partners in navigating relationship challenges by fostering improved communication, deeper emotional intimacy, and effective conflict resolution skills. I guide couples in recognizing and shifting patterns that hinder their connection, helping them build a stronger foundation of trust and mutual understanding. Through our collaborative sessions, partners develop practical tools to enhance their relationship's health, resilience, and overall satisfaction.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In my practice, I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop emotional resilience, enhance interpersonal effectiveness, and manage distressing emotions through mindfulness and acceptance. DBT empowers individuals and couples to balance acceptance and change, fostering healthier relationships and improved coping skills. By integrating DBT techniques, I support clients in cultivating emotional stability, effective communication, and increased self-awareness, enabling meaningful and lasting growth.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice, I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients quickly identify their strengths and resources, emphasizing actionable solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This approach enables individuals and couples to set clear, achievable goals, fostering rapid and meaningful change. By focusing on what's already working, I support clients in building momentum and confidence, guiding them toward the fulfilling relationships and personal growth they desire.
