What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, we’ll take time to connect and get to know each other, establishing a strong foundation for our work together. I create a supportive and open environment where you can feel comfortable and heard. We’ll start by introducing key concepts that will guide your personalized therapy, ensuring that our approach is tailored to your unique needs and goals moving forward. This collaborative process sets the stage for meaningful progress and lasting change.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helping clients develop psychological flexibility. I guide them in accepting thoughts and feelings without judgment, rather than trying to control or avoid them. Using mindfulness techniques, we work on being present in the moment, increasing awareness of values, and fostering committed action aligned with your values. I encourage clients to identify core values and take steps, even in the face of difficult emotions or thoughts, to live a life that is meaningful and fulfilling.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviors. Together, we explore how negative thoughts contribute to distress, and learn practical strategies to reframe thoughts and adopt healthier perspectives. I incorporate behavioral techniques to promote positive change, such as setting goals, practicing new skills, and tracking progress. The focus is on empowering clients to develop more balanced thinking and healthier coping strategies for life's challenges.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build skills and improve interpersonal relationships. I incorporate mindfulness techniques to help clients stay present and nonjudgmental in their experiences. Through DBT's four core modules—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness— clients managing intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve relationships. The goal is to help clients achieve a balance between acceptance and change, ultimately leading to a more stable and fulfilling life.
Positive Psychology
I utilize positive psychology by building upon clients' personal strengths, building resilience, and fostering a sense of well-being. I encourage clients to explore gratitude, optimism, and self-compassion, helping them develop a positive mindset. We work on setting meaningful goals, cultivating positive relationships, and increasing life satisfaction by focusing on what’s going well. By emphasizing strengths and helping clients engage in activities that bring joy and fulfillment, I support them in creating a life that feels rich in meaning and purpose.
