Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions. As a clinician I will then shift into a space of learning and understanding your story. Careful to examine the specific difficulties you're facing. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate on tailoring a plan to work through structured steps toward wellness and invite the continued flow of becoming through follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As an experienced clinical professional for the past 13 years, I've developed a sound approach to meet clients at their vulnerable point of need. Carefully setting the atmosphere to help clients prepare to (a) identify the cause of their shared challenges and (b) create a structured tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. It has been through gathering and understanding the details of each personal story, that healthy and quality living is obtainable.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adults who are in a season of transition, seeking support to becoming well in their careers, friendships, relationships, and community. My clients reflect a readiness to grow welcoming the tools and information relayed to make the desired goal a reality. They often feel static, overwhelmed, and unresolved about their next stage of becoming.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I set the tone to create an engaging, warm, and welcoming atmosphere with clients. My approach with clients is to first attentively listen and understand their adopted thought patterns and behaviors. Then working at the client's pace challenge the negative thoughts and beliefs and develop healthy sustainable coping strategies. Following session processing, I offer guided exercises to help refine thinking and behaving practices into lasting positive change.
Humanistic
I welcome the opportunity to hear and validate each personal narrative. In the humanistic approach, I offer the support of hearing the client's voice and lived experiences, emotions, and perspective. The therapeutic environment is cultivated with reflective listening, open-ended questions, and experiential exercises. My approach is to help support self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-fulfillment.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I provide structured sessions of learning the developments of unconstructive behaviors. Once understanding the foundation of an experience, I help develop coping strategies to manage the symptoms of traumatic encounters. The coping techniques implemented include mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation exercises.
