Life can bring us challenges that feel overwhelming. As a result, you may find yourself feeling anxious, irritable, or maybe even struggling in managing your day to day life activities. If you're looking to make some changes in your life, then therapy is the perfect place to start.
My clients know me to be a very compassionate collaborative therapist who is invested in helping my clients reach their goals.
As an integrative client-centered therapist, I tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of my client. You are unique and so is your journey toward healing. My job is to be flexible to your needs as we work collaboratively to help you reach your goals.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then review the specific challenges you're currently facing. We will then collaborate on treatment goals and create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I strive to make my clients feel comfortable and emotionally safe. I am empathetic, non-judgmental, and committed to helping clients reach their treatment goals.
Ideal clients
I specialize in working with adult individuals who struggle with anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions and relationship issues. I also work with couples who are struggling with communication issues. The treatment methods and tools I utilize are evidence based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person centered, Mindfulness based therapy, and Gottman Method. As an integrative therapist, I collaborate with my clients to find the best tools that are aligned with their needs and treatment goals.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients gain a better understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and guide clients in identifying and challenging limiting and irrational beliefs that contribute to distress.
Integrative
I utilize Integrative therapy as an individualized, holistic approach to therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic schools of thought depending on the unique needs of a given client.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I utilize Mindfulness-based therapy to help clients incorporate mindfulness strategies to master present moment awareness, engage in grounding exercises, mind and body awareness, breathing exercises, and self-compassion which reduce stress and increase self-awareness and promote healthy coping skills.
Grief Therapy
I utilize Grief therapy in helping clients cope with a wide range of losses, from the death of loved ones to divorce, job loss, and more. Grief is a uniquely individualized experience, and my role as a therapist is to support clients by providing a safe space for clients to explore their emotions and find their path toward healing.
