Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll take some time to get to know each other and dive into what brought you here. I'll ask a few questions to get a sense of you background and what you'd like to work on, but don't worry- I'll keep it relaxed! You'll have plenty of space to share whatever feels important. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and excited to get started!
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a provider is my blend of blunt honesty and friendliness, shaped by both life and professional experience. This lets clients feel supported and empowered to tackle real challenges and make meaningful changes.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to work with women, parents, and individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or parenting stress.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use CBT with a range of clients, from children and teens to adults. I value CBT for its solid, evidence-based framework, but I approach it with flexibility, recognizing that each client's needs are unique. I often combine CBT with other therapeutic tools- whether it's techniques from DBT, art therapy, or other modalities- to tailor the approach to what will be most effective for each individual. This flexibility allows me to adapt CBT's principles to different age groups and challenges, helping clients develop practical skills for managing their thoughts and emotions in a way that feels natural and accessible for them.
