(she/her)
I have over 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and other life stressors. It is important to me that I create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I tailor my approach to meet each client's unique needs, goals, and comfort level, allowing clients to move at a pace that feels right for them. Sessions focus on exploring challenges, building on strengths, and finding meaningful ways to move forward.
In the initial session, we will discuss the challenges that brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the process. Together, we will begin to identify goals and develop a plan that is supportive, manageable, and tailored to your needs. The session will also provide an opportunity for you to ask questions and share any concerns you may have.
My therapeutic approach is centered on creating a space where clients feel safe, supported, and in control of the process. I combine empathy and patience with practical strategies to help clients navigate challenges, build on their strengths, and develop greater confidence in themselves and their ability to cope.
I support children, adolescents, and adults facing a variety of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. Many of my clients are looking to better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and feel more confident managing difficult emotions or situations. My approach is often a good fit for clients who value a supportive, strengths-based style that combines practical strategies with compassion and understanding.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and recognize how these thoughts can affect their behaviors. We then work together to develop strategies to adopt healthier thinking patterns which can lead to improved wellbeing and a better quality of life.
Strength-Based
In my practice, I use strengths-based therapy to highlight and build upon each client's existing strengths and positive qualities, rather than focusing on problems or deficits. This empowers clients to draw on their internal resources, fostering resilience and supporting them in achieving their personal goals.
Grief Therapy
In my practice, grief therapy focuses on normalizing the grieving process and validating each client’s unique grief experience. I allow clients to share information and process emotions at their own pace and we work together to develop a plan that fits with their needs.
