Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know each other and creating a safe, comfortable space for you. I’ll ask about your reasons for seeking support, your goals, and any challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll explore what you hope to achieve through therapy or coaching and discuss how my approach can best support you. This session is also your chance to ask questions, so you feel confident and clear about the process moving forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths lie in creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. I blend evidence-based methods like CBT, ACT, and DBT with mindfulness, expressive arts, and neuroscience-informed tools to help clients connect deeply with themselves. My approach is especially effective for those navigating stress, burnout, anxiety, or life transitions who are ready to engage in personal growth and healing. Clients often share that they appreciate how I balance truth-telling with empathy, and how our work together helps them feel more grounded, clear, and restored.

Whether your goals include managing anxiety, building resilience, reclaiming your sense of self, or developing healthy coping skills, I’m here to guide you with empathy and practical tools. This work is ideal for clients ready to engage deeply in their healing journey and embrace meaningful personal growth.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT allows me to help clients build psychological flexibility by focusing on values-based living rather than symptom elimination. I guide clients through practices that support acceptance, present-moment awareness, and committed action. Using metaphors, journaling, and mindfulness, we explore how to navigate difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. This approach resonates deeply with clients seeking purpose, emotional balance, and a more authentic connection to themselves.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low self-worth. Together, we explore how beliefs influence behavior and work to replace those patterns with more balanced, empowering perspectives. I often combine CBT with mindfulness and expressive tools to make the process more engaging and holistic. This method is especially effective for clients working through anxiety, ADHD, or life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to teach clients practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, building resilience, and improving interpersonal relationships. Through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and communication tools, clients learn how to respond rather than react. I integrate creative strategies like journaling, movement, and metaphor to make these skills more accessible and meaningful. DBT is especially effective for those navigating trauma, mood instability, or high-stress environments.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I integrate mindfulness-based approaches to help clients develop present-moment awareness, regulate emotions, and reduce stress. Through techniques like breathwork, guided meditation, and mindful reflection, I support clients in reconnecting with themselves and their needs. I often blend mindfulness with creative expression and evidence-based modalities like CBT and ACT to encourage insight and lasting change. This method is especially helpful for clients navigating anxiety, trauma, or life transitions.
Strength-Based
My approach centers on uncovering and amplifying each client’s inherent strengths, especially during times of stress or self-doubt. I help clients reframe challenges as opportunities for growth by identifying what’s already working and building from there. This method fosters empowerment, hope, and motivation while supporting a deeper sense of self-worth. It's a natural fit for my creative and holistic framework, particularly with women and youth rebuilding confidence and direction.
