In our first session together,, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us moving forward into following sessions.
My communication style is calm, friendly, and accommodating. I want my clients to feel as open and as comfortable talking with me about anything, and I take great pride in my ability to listen without judgment and with empathy. My journey to becoming a therapist I chose this profession as I have always been a person who helps others. I once needed help and reached out, I was led on this journey through my past and what I have been able to achieve. I have always known I would be helping people through difficult times as I was once helped. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves.
depression, anxiety, social, work, and some relationship issues, as well as trauma (sexual, emotional, physical)

I’ve been using CBT skills in my practice for the past three years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT skills to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
