(she/her)
I’ve had the privilege of providing direct mental health services to diverse individuals and families in a variety of settings for nearly a decade. My hope is to create a warm, casual space for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, develop deeper insights, and discover new, healthy ways of being. I bring extensive experience and a genuine love for working with children, teens, and adults, coupled with advanced training in perinatal mental health, to help parents navigate this transformative period with greater ease and confidence. Whatever challenges you may be facing, I'm here to provide compassionate support and guidance to help you or your child move forward. My therapy style is warm, engaging, and collaborative and I believe that authentic and supportive relationships are key to healing. My philosophy is to seek to understand the whole person with genuine interest, care, and compassion. I use a tailored approach to help you reach your goals, typically combining a number of modalities including Humanistic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Providing client-centered and trauma-informed care that is culturally sensitive, strength-based, and rooted in compassion is at the heart of my work. Together we will explore how behaviors, emotions, and thoughts intertwine and collaborate on developing healthier habits. My belief is that the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool. My intention is to give others a positive experience with therapy.
Clients can expect to gain valuable insights, practical tools, and effective coping strategies from our sessions together with a compassionate and client-centered approach. I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through our sessions, you can expect to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, enhance self-acceptance, and foster personal growth.
Through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I will work collaboratively with you to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthier behaviors, and enhance emotional well-being. Together, we will create a supportive environment where you can explore your concerns, learn new skills, and achieve lasting positive change. I also utilize Solution-Focused therapy tools, collaborating with you to identify your desired outcomes and work towards practical solutions that can bring about positive change, enabling you to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.
As a therapist, I believe my biggest strengths lie in creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment for my clients. Whether practicing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic therapy, or Solution-Focused therapy, I strive to foster a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. Additionally, I am skilled at identifying and building upon clients' strengths, helping them to cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth. My goal is to empower clients by providing practical tools, effective coping strategies, and valuable insights tailored to their specific needs. Together, we will work collaboratively towards their desired outcomes, promoting lasting positive change and overall well-being.
