Whether you're dealing with life stressors, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the unhelpful thinking styles, hang-ups, and habits holding you back.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in treating clients who are struggling with attachment issues, relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, women’s issues, and low self-esteem. I find immense fulfilment working with clients experiencing low self-esteem, women's issues, anxiety, and the impacts of trauma. Witnessing their transformative journey towards self-empowerment is incredibly rewarding. Being able to foster positive changes, build resilience, and witness the gradual development of self-confidence and positive coping mechanisms brings a profound sense of purpose to my work as a mental health counselor. I am also passionate about working with clients facing relationship issues and attachment issues because I believe in the transformative power of healthy relationships. Assisting individuals in navigating and improving their relationships brings me a profound sense of fulfillment. Witnessing the positive impact of effective communication, conflict resolution, and relationship growth on my clients' lives reinforces my commitment to helping them build and maintain meaningful connections.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy is an approach to therapy that specifically targets those thoughts, feelings, communications, behaviors, and interpersonal exchanges that clients have learned to suppress and avoid or to amplify and overemphasize because of early attachment experiences.
Christian Counseling
Christian counseling is a therapy approach that combines your Christian faith with the principles of psychology to address mental health and help your family relationships and the people around you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that may help you to change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems is frequently used as an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.
Compassion Focused
Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) is a therapeutic approach that aims to help those who struggle with shame and self-criticism, often resulting from early experiences of abuse or neglect. CFT teaches clients to cultivate the skills of self-compassion and other-oriented compassion, which are thought to help regulate mood and lead to feelings of safety, self-acceptance, and comfort.
