LPC, 7 years of experience
In my practice, I take a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to help you uncover what’s holding you back and take actionable steps toward positive change. I believe in being straightforward and compassionate—helping you identify the thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back, and empowering you to make lasting, positive changes. In our work together, you’ll receive honest feedback and support as we explore solutions that are tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking relief from difficult emotions, learning how to manage ADHD symptoms, coping with life’s pressures, or navigating transitions, I’m here to help you develop strategies that work for you. My goal is to give you the tools to build resilience, regain control, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your current challenges, personal history, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. This session is also an opportunity for you to share your story in a safe, nonjudgmental space and ask any questions about my approach. By the end, we’ll collaboratively outline a plan tailored to your goals and set the foundation for meaningful progress.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to blend compassion with a direct, results-oriented approach. I’m skilled at helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns while providing clear, actionable strategies for change.
I work best with individuals who are ready to take an honest look at their lives and are motivated to make meaningful changes. This includes adults navigating ADHD and anxiety disorders, high-stress situations, or life transitions such as career changes, relationship challenges, or personal growth goals. My approach is especially effective for those who value clear, straightforward feedback and are open to exploring practical, evidence-based strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
Using evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Reality Therapy, I provide honest, compassionate feedback to help you understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. This approach isn’t about being harsh—it’s about being real. Together, we’ll focus on solutions, accountability, and practical strategies that empower you to take control of your life. Whether it’s challenging unhelpful thought patterns, addressing behaviors that no longer serve you, or navigating a difficult moment, I’ll guide you with clarity and care. If you’re ready to tackle life’s challenges head-on and create meaningful change, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I deliver psychoeducation clearly and directly, focusing on facts and practical strategies. Clients learn what’s happening, why, and how to manage it. I break down symptoms and offer useful tools. No fluff—just actionable knowledge to create real change.
I deliver psychodynamic on a broader range of unconscious influences, including early relationships, social factors, and current life experiences
