I am dedicated to helping adults navigate their struggles with anxiety and depression by providing consistent support through weekly or bi-weekly sessions. These sessions offer a structured and safe space for clients to explore their emotions, identify patterns, and develop effective coping strategies. By working together regularly, we can make meaningful progress in managing symptoms, building resilience, and enhancing overall well-being. My goal is to empower clients to regain control over their lives and cultivate a sense of peace and balance. I know what it is like to feel out of control of your own life. Let's work together to put you back in the driver's seat!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a clinician is my ability to help individuals break down tasks that initially feel overwhelming into manageable, achievable steps. I work closely with clients to identify the specific challenges they face and develop a structured plan that reduces stress and fosters a sense of accomplishment. By simplifying complex tasks and creating a clear, step-by-step approach, I empower clients to take meaningful action, build confidence, and steadily progress toward their goals. No one has to walk it alone; I will be there to coach you each step of the way.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize this evidence-based approach to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to identify negative thought patterns and develop practical strategies to reframe them, ultimately fostering healthier behaviors and emotional responses. My goal is to empower clients with the tools they need to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges, promoting lasting change and overall well-being.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In my practice, I integrate mindfulness-based therapy to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and develop a non-judgmental attitude toward their thoughts and emotions. By incorporating techniques such as mindful breathing, meditation, and body scanning, I guide clients in becoming more attuned to their internal experiences. This approach helps clients manage stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges by fostering a greater sense of calm, acceptance, and self-compassion. Through mindfulness, clients learn to break free from automatic, negative thought patterns and respond to life’s difficulties with greater clarity and resilience.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support clients who are navigating change and seeking personal growth. This collaborative, client-centered approach helps clients explore their own motivations, values, and ambivalence toward change. By engaging in open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirming their strengths, I help clients tap into their intrinsic motivation and build confidence in their ability to achieve their goals. Through this supportive and non-judgmental process, clients gain clarity on their desires for change and develop a personalized path forward, empowering them to make meaningful, sustainable life changes.
Strength-Based
I employ a strength-based approach, focusing on clients' inherent strengths, resources, and resilience to help them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I believe that every individual possesses unique capabilities and inner wisdom that can be harnessed for growth and healing. By highlighting these strengths and past successes, I work with clients to build confidence and foster a positive self-image. This empowering approach helps clients recognize their own potential and encourages them to draw on their strengths to navigate life’s difficulties, ultimately fostering a sense of empowerment and hope for the future.
