I am a licensed clinical therapist with over 15 years of experience specializing in helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies tailored to meet your unique needs, whether you're seeking support for managing stress, improving relationships, or overcoming personal obstacles. I provide a supportive and empathetic environment where we work collaboratively to foster growth, resilience, and a renewed sense of well-being. Together, we'll explore effective strategies to help you achieve your goals and build a happier, healthier life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding your concerns. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, explore your goals and expectations, and begin to outline a plan for our work together. I'll ask questions to gather information about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve from therapy. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the therapeutic process and to start building a trusting therapeutic relationship. By the end of our first session, you should feel heard, validated, and hopeful about the potential for positive change as we embark on your therapeutic journey together.

I take a holistic view of well-being, addressing both emotional and practical aspects of life to promote comprehensive healing and personal growth.

Recognizing and respecting diverse cultural backgrounds and perspectives, I ensure that therapy is inclusive and relevant to each client's unique identity and values. I help clients cultivate resilience and develop practical skills to navigate challenges, fostering long-lasting empowerment and well-being. These strengths collectively contribute to my commitment to providing effective, compassionate, and personalized therapy that supports clients in achieving their goals and living fulfilling lives.

Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a specialized approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral principles with trauma-specific interventions. In my 15 years of clinical practice, TF-CBT has been a cornerstone in my work with clients who have experienced trauma, including professionals navigating high-pressure environments. My experience with TF-CBT has shown me its effectiveness in helping clients not only process trauma but also regain a sense of control, resilience, and empowerment. By integrating TF-CBT with my understanding of the pressures faced by working adults, I tailor therapy sessions to address both trauma-related issues and work-related stressors, ensuring a holistic approach to mental health and well-being. Clients who have engaged in TF-CBT with me have expressed appreciation for its structured approach and the tangible skills it provides for managing trauma-related symptoms. They have reported significant improvements in their ability to cope with stress, navigate challenging emotions, and achieve their personal and professional goals with greater confidence.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
My experience with Solution-Focused Treatment has shown its effectiveness in helping clients achieve meaningful, sustainable change in relatively brief periods. Clients appreciate the pragmatic and empowering nature of SFBT, as it equips them with practical tools and strategies that can be applied not only in therapy but also in their daily lives and professional environments. By integrating Solution-Focused Treatment with my understanding of the unique challenges faced by working adults, I tailor sessions to address immediate concerns while keeping long-term goals in sight. This approach fosters a sense of hope, resilience, and agency among clients, empowering them to overcome obstacles and achieve a more fulfilling life. In summary, Solution-Focused Treatment aligns with my commitment to providing personalized, goal-oriented therapy that leverages clients’ strengths and resources. It's a method that continues to yield positive outcomes and satisfaction among my clients, reinforcing its value in my practice as a licensed clinical therapist.
Family Therapy
In summary, Family Therapy aligns with my commitment to providing holistic, collaborative care that addresses the interconnected dynamics and challenges within families. By fostering effective communication, resolving conflicts, and promoting understanding, Family Therapy supports families in building stronger relationships, enhancing resilience, and achieving greater overall well-being.
Strength-Based
In my 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have consistently utilized a strength-based approach in my practice. This method focuses on identifying and leveraging clients' inherent strengths and resources to address their challenges and achieve their goals. I use this approach by helping clients recognize their resilience, skills, and past successes, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-efficacy. During sessions, I collaborate with clients to build on these strengths, setting realistic and achievable goals that align with their values and aspirations. By emphasizing what clients are doing well, rather than focusing solely on their problems, the strength-based approach helps create a positive and motivating therapeutic environment. This method not only aids in resolving current issues but also equips clients with a stronger foundation to handle future challenges.
