Welcome! You've taken a significant step by embracing vulnerability and seeking help. That first step can often be the most challenging, and you should feel proud of yourself for making it. In our sessions, your time will be dedicated to you—a safe space to be your authentic self, free from the expectations that may exist in other parts of your life. During our journey together, our primary focus will be on establishing a therapeutic relationship built on trust and understanding.

Together, we'll pinpoint the changes you genuinely desire and work towards achieving those goals. I'll be here to support you as you embark on this path of self-improvement and regain the self-confidence that may have waned in previous attempts. We'll connect on a human level, recognizing that we all share the common experience of navigating life's complexities and striving to understand ourselves better. If you'd like to continue reading, I'll provide more details on how I will assist you on this transformative journey of change and self-growth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As your therapist, I deeply respect your autonomy. Your priorities guide our sessions, and your feedback is vital to ensure you feel supported and aligned with our treatment plan. I acknowledge that you're the expert on your own life. My role is to provide insights, identify limiting behavior patterns, and introduce evidence-based interventions like client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist you in achieving your desired changes. Together, we'll work collaboratively to empower your personal growth and well-being.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
As a Licensed Psychotherapist, I possess extensive knowledge of therapeutic modalities to aid clients with diverse needs. Recognizing that not all modalities suit every client, I prioritize understanding their beliefs and individuality. I thoroughly assess their unique situation before selecting a suitable approach, which may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, or Structural Family Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My innate ability to connect with people, combined with professional training and a commitment to continuous learning, has allowed me to develop expertise in various areas. I've successfully worked with families, couples, parents of both neurotypical children and those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, clients facing depression and anxiety, and provided coaching for professionals and new graduates. I've also supported individuals through grief, life transitions, and end-of-life issues. To maintain a well-rounded therapeutic practice, I actively engage with a diverse range of clients in my private practice.
