I am a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges through evidence-based therapeutic approaches. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical strategies for lasting change. I integrate various treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gestalt Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy, to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I take the time to understand your concerns, background, and goals for therapy. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your personal history, and identify the challenges you are currently facing. I will also introduce my therapeutic approach, answer any questions you may have, and collaboratively develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs and aspirations.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a warm, safe, and accepting environment where clients feel truly heard and understood. I take a personalized, client-centered approach that empowers individuals to gain insight, build resilience, and implement meaningful changes in their lives. My commitment to blending evidence-based techniques with genuine compassion allows clients to feel supported while working toward their personal growth and healing.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and emotional regulation challenges. My approach is especially beneficial for those seeking to improve their self-awareness, emotional resilience, and interpersonal connections. Whether you’re struggling with stress, self-doubt, or unresolved past experiences, I provide a structured yet flexible therapeutic experience to guide you toward growth and healing.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with more balanced and constructive ways of thinking. By incorporating structured techniques such as cognitive reframing and behavioral activation, I guide clients in developing healthier coping strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Through ACT, I help clients cultivate psychological flexibility by accepting difficult emotions and committing to actions aligned with their values. I integrate mindfulness strategies and experiential exercises to support clients in embracing discomfort while moving toward meaningful life goals.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I incorporate DBT techniques to assist clients in developing emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. By using mindfulness practices and structured coping strategies, I help clients manage intense emotions and navigate challenging situations with greater stability and self-awareness.

Gestalt

I use Gestalt techniques to encourage clients to deepen their self-awareness and engage fully in the present moment. Through experiential exercises, role-playing, and guided self-exploration, I help clients understand how past experiences influence their present behaviors and emotions.

Attachment-based

I integrate attachment-based therapy to explore early relational patterns and their impact on emotional well-being and relationships. By fostering a secure therapeutic relationship, I help clients process past attachment wounds and develop healthier, more secure connections in their personal lives.
