As a licensed psychotherapist, I believe in prioritizing mental health is the key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest past. You don’t have to be in a crisis to meet with me, and for us to talk, I am here to tell you it's never too late to make changes in your life that will ultimately fulfill you and define your happiness. When you decide to come into my office, I will make you feel safe, welcomed, and most importantly, heard.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where they can share their concerns and goals at their own pace. We will explore their current challenges, discuss their history, and begin identifying what they hope to achieve through therapy. This session will also include an explanation of the therapeutic process, setting the foundation for a collaborative relationship focused on their growth and well-being.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to build strong, empathetic relationships with clients while using evidence-based approaches like CBT and Person-Centered Therapy. I focus on creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their challenges, fostering personal growth and resilience. Additionally, my experience in higher education allows me to understand and address the unique needs of students, particularly in supporting their academic and personal development.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am best positioned to serve clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious as they navigate life transitions and relationship challenges. My approach helps individuals gain clarity, build resilience, and develop healthier ways to manage stress and foster meaningful connections.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients explore and understand their emotional experiences, fostering stronger connections in their relationships. By focusing on attachment patterns and emotional responses, I guide clients toward creating secure bonds and healthier communication.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that influence their emotions and behaviors. By incorporating structured techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation, I support clients in developing healthier coping strategies and achieving their goals.
Existential
I incorporate existential therapy into my practice by helping clients explore the meaning and purpose of their lives, particularly during periods of transition or uncertainty. This approach allows clients to confront issues such as freedom, responsibility, and the inevitability of choice, empowering them to take ownership of their paths. I often use open-ended questions to guide discussions about values, goals, and personal beliefs, fostering deeper self-awareness. Through this process, clients can better align their actions with their authentic selves and develop resilience in the face of life's challenges.
