I am a dedicated therapist specializing in evidence-based approaches to help individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. I utilize a range of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), tailored to meet each client's unique needs. My goal is to provide a supportive, empowering environment where clients can explore their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build a fulfilling, resilient life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session with me, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we will start by discussing their reasons for seeking therapy and any specific concerns or goals they have. I will gather background information to understand their history and current situation. This initial conversation helps build rapport and allows me to tailor our therapeutic approach to their unique needs. We will also discuss the therapy process, set expectations, and address any questions or concerns they might have, ensuring they feel comfortable and supported as we begin our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their challenges and strengths. I am skilled in utilizing a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including CBT, ACT, and SFBT, to tailor treatment to meet each client's individual needs. I am adept at fostering a collaborative relationship with clients, empowering them to take an active role in their healing journey. Additionally, my commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay informed about the latest research and therapeutic techniques to provide the highest quality of care.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
My experience with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is grounded in its application to enhance psychological flexibility by integrating mindfulness with behavioral change. In my practice, I utilize ACT to help clients accept their thoughts and feelings without resistance, use cognitive defusion techniques to reduce the power of negative thoughts, and focus on present-moment awareness.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves using its structured, goal-oriented approach to address various psychological issues by modifying dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. In my practice, I work with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, replacing them with more balanced and realistic ones.
Psychodynamic
My experience with psychodynamic therapy involves exploring the unconscious processes and past experiences that influence a client's current behavior and emotions. In my practice, I help clients gain insight into unresolved conflicts and patterns stemming from their early relationships and experiences.
Strength-Based
My experience with strength-based therapy focuses on identifying and leveraging clients' inherent strengths and resources to facilitate positive change and resilience. In my practice, I emphasize clients' abilities, talents, and past successes, encouraging them to build on these assets to overcome challenges. By fostering a positive, empowering perspective, I help clients develop confidence and self-efficacy.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy
My experience utilizing PLE is in treating those with PTSD and recovering from a specific traumatic event.
