As a licensed professional counselor, I am driven by a profound commitment to supporting individuals in their mental health and addiction journeys. With several years of experience in the mental health and substance use field, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of empathy, understanding, and guidance in helping clients navigate their challenges. I strive to foster a space where clients feel comfortable sharing their struggles. By actively listening and validating their experiences, I aim to empower them to confront and overcome the obstacles in their lives. Everyone processes emotions uniquely, so I tailor my approach to your individual needs and goals. Using evidence-based practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness, I help you develop coping strategies, build resilience, and create lasting positive change in your life. My journey into this field was deeply influenced by my own personal experiences, which have shaped my desire to create a safe and supportive environment for others. I believe that vulnerability is a vital aspect of healing and my priority is to help clients cultivate resilience and achieve their personal goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, clients can expect a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where they can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. I begin by getting to know you, your background, and the challenges you're currently facing. Together, we'll explore your goals for therapy and discuss what you’re hoping to achieve through our work together
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable opening up. I’m a great listener and work hard to truly understand my clients' perspectives. This allows me to tailor my approach to meet their unique needs and goals. Another strength is my commitment to providing practical, evidence-based tools that empower clients to take an active role in their healing. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, equipping them with strategies to create meaningful change in their lives. Additionally, I am patient, supportive, and collaborative, always ensuring that clients feel respected and understood. My goal is to build a trusting relationship where clients feel encouraged to explore their challenges and celebrate their progress
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My clients are individuals who are motivated to improve their mental health and personal growth, but might be feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life’s challenges. I particularly enjoy working with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-doubt, and who are looking for practical tools to break free from negative thought patterns. I love working with individuals who are open to learning how their thoughts and behaviors influence their emotions, and who are ready to actively engage in making meaningful changes. Whether it’s overcoming personal barriers, building confidence, or navigating stressful life transitions, I’m passionate about helping clients find clarity and empowerment through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my practice as a foundational approach to help clients address a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. CBT is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment method that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. I use CBT to work collaboratively with clients, helping them recognize the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying these patterns, we can develop healthier thinking strategies and practical coping skills. I find that CBT empowers clients to take an active role in their healing process, and it’s especially effective in treating issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. In my sessions, I tailor CBT techniques to each client’s unique needs. Whether through thought-recording exercises, challenging cognitive distortions, or behavioral activation strategies, my goal is to create a supportive environment where clients feel confident in making lasting changes that improve their overall well-being.
