I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey toward healing and personal growth. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a warm, collaborative style to create a safe space where clients feel understood and empowered. In our work together, I focus on helping you explore your unique experiences, overcome challenges, and develop effective strategies for a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, complex behavioral habits, or life transitions, I am here to support you every step of the way.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect an informal, but thorough dive into the reasons they are seeking therapy, an introduction to me and my style, and to begin the process of a biopsychosocial assessment.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a range of experience with different clients that allows me to feel comfortable working with any client. My greatest strength is my ability to use empathy and Countertransference to support clients in reaching their goals.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love to use motivational interviewing with clients who are resistant to change, and dig deep with clients who are looking to learn more about themselves and better their lives.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I've been using ACT since beginning my internship during my masters program. It's an incredible tool in helping clients navigate shame and opens the door to discuss mental illness and develop a healthy relationship with the patterns or behaviors that brought the client to therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This is traditionally used for substance use and other compulsive disorders. It's excellent at helping clients change self-destructive behaviors quickly. Therefore, it's the first line of treatment to establish safety with higher risk clients.
Experiential Therapy
Psychodrama and other forms of experiential trauma therapy are the most effective ways to rewrite narratives that have been guiding clients feelings, thoughts, and behaviors since childhood that may contribute to unhealthy coping skills
