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 us create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. It's a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My approach is holistic and I believe that therapy should be person-centered. I try to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client by providing you with a safe space to explore your emotions, build upon your strengths, and bring about growth and healing.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational approach to help clients understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT is a structured and goal-oriented therapeutic modality that empowers individuals to identify and challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, leading to positive changes in their emotional well-being and overall functioning.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In my practice, I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a highly effective treatment approach developed specifically to help individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. DBT is a comprehensive and structured therapy that integrates principles of mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to promote lasting change.
Existential
In my practice, I utilize Existential Therapy, a philosophical and humanistic approach that delves into the deeper questions and concerns that are inherent to the human experience. Existential Therapy is not about diagnosing or labeling individuals, but rather about exploring the unique struggles, dilemmas, and search for meaning that each person faces in their life journey.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In my practice, I employ Person-Centered Therapy, a humanistic approach founded on the belief that individuals possess the capacity for self-awareness, growth, and healing. Central to Person-Centered Therapy is the concept of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness, which form the foundation of the therapeutic relationship.
In therapy sessions, I strive to create a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients feel accepted and understood for who they are. I approach each client with genuine curiosity and respect, recognizing that they are the experts of their own experiences.
Trauma-Focused CBT
In my practice, I specialize in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment approach designed to help individuals who have experienced traumatic events. TF-CBT integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-specific interventions to address the emotional and psychological impact of trauma in a safe and supportive environment.
