About me

As a dedicated and empathetic therapist, I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My approach is rooted in understanding each individual as unique, and I tailor my methods to meet the specific needs of each person. Whether you are facing challenges related to substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles or life transitions, I am committed to walking alongside you as you navigate your journey towards healing and growth.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free space where we begin getting to know each other. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, relevant background, and the goals you hope to achieve. I'll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process so we can work together to create a plan that feels right for you. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the work we'll do together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and comfortable to be themselves. I bring a deep sense of empathy, presence and intuition into each session, allowing for meaningful connection and insight. I'm also skilled at helping clients uncover patterns, build resilience, and move toward lasting change with compassion and clarity.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and unhelpful behaviors. I work with individuals to recognize cognitive distortions and replace them with more balance, realistic thoughts. The goal is to empower clients to develop healthier coping strategies and improve their overall mental well-being.

Eclectic

I use eclectic therapy to tailor treatment to each individual client by integrating techniques from various therapeutic approaches. By drawing from methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and humanistic principles, I adapt my approach to meet the unique needs of the client. This flexibility allows me to address a wide range of issues and helps clients achieve their personal goals in a way that resonates with them.

Motivational Interviewing

I use motivational interviewing with my clients to help them explore and resolve any ambivalence they may have about change. By creating a collaborative and empathetic environment, I guide clients in articulating their own reasons for change, reinforcing their autonomy and strengths. This approach helps clients build motivation and confidence to take actionable steps towards their goals, making the process of change feel more achievable and self-driven.

Psychodynamic

I use psychodynamic therapy to help clients explore the unconscious patterns and past experiences that influence their current thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I encourage clients to gain insight into how early life experiences and unresolved conflicts shape there present struggles. This deeper understanding helps clients gain self-awareness, process emotional pain, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

EMDR

As a therapist trained in EMDR, I help clients safely process and reprocess traumatic memories that may continue to affect their thoughts, emotions, and daily functioning. Using a structured, evidence-based approach, EMDR helps the brain reduce the emotional intensity of distressing experiences while fostering healthier beliefs and greater emotional resilience. My goal is to help clients move beyond feeling stuck in the past so they can experience lasting healing and engage more fully in the present.
