What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you’ll step into a warm and welcoming space where we can just chat, get to know each other, and explore your initial assessments. It’s all about making sure you feel understood and supported—no pressure, no judgment, just a relaxed conversation to see if we’re a good fit for this journey together. My aim is to help you move toward a brighter, more fulfilling life—whatever that looks like for you. We’ll work together to create personalized goals and practical, empowering steps that you can start using right away. Think of it as the first step in designing the life you truly deserve—let’s make it fun, meaningful, and full of possibility!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My true "superpower" is helping you turn those big, overwhelming problems into bite-sized, manageable steps that feel totally doable. With my blend of training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, and life coaching, I’m all about making life’s challenges less daunting and more empowering. Together, we’ll break down what’s weighing you down and transform it into practical actions you can take, one small step at a time. You’ll walk away not just feeling lighter, but equipped with clear, confident steps to tackle whatever comes your way—and yes, we’ll make it as fun and rewarding as possible!

My treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use a very unique approach to solving problems that combine a mix of many different techniques including therapy and coaching. My evidence-based treatment methods are designed to help you make meaningful changes, step by step, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether it's finding quick wins or tackling deep-rooted issues, I'm here to support you on your journey. My greatest strength is to take your big overwhelming issues and break them down to help you find bite-sized solutions you can take action on, one small step at a time. I like to keep things simple and action-oriented. We won’t just dwell on what’s going wrong; instead, we’ll explore what’s going right and how to build on it. Together, we’ll take those big, overwhelming problems and break them down into bite-sized steps that are easy to tackle. Imagine chatting about what life would look like if your worries magically vanished, or recalling times when things felt better. From there, we’ll identify practical solutions and set small goals you can start working on immediately. Think of me as your cheerleader and guide, helping you make steady progress and celebrating each win along the way. Let’s work together to create the life you want, starting with just one small step today.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is like a mental tune-up! Together, we’ll look at the thoughts and behaviors that are making life tougher than it needs to be. You’ll learn to recognize those pesky negative thought patterns and reframe them in a more balanced and helpful way. We'll also dive into fun activities that lift your mood, confront fears gradually (don’t worry, baby steps!), and use practical exercises to practice what you’re learning. I’ll give you homework assignments to help reinforce your skills between sessions. Think of it as taking what we learn in therapy and applying it to your everyday life to see real, lasting changes.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Using ACT therapeutic strategies, we’re all about accepting life’s ups and downs while living in line with what truly matters to you. We’ll work together on letting go of the struggle with negative thoughts and emotions, embracing a new mindset of openness and psychological flexibility. Imagine being able to observe your thoughts like passing clouds, without letting them define you! Through mindfulness, you’ll learn to stay present and engaged in the moment. We’ll clarify your values, set meaningful goals, and develop an action plan that helps you overcome obstacles and move toward the life you want. This isn’t just about feeling better; it’s about living better, with purpose and intention.

Compassion Focused

Compassion-Focused Therapy is about turning down the volume on self-criticism and cranking up the compassion you show yourself. We’ll work on understanding why it can be so hard to be kind to yourself, and how to change that. Through guided exercises, we’ll cultivate a warm, supportive inner voice that helps you face life’s challenges with more resilience and self-acceptance. We’ll explore how self-compassion isn’t about letting yourself off the hook—it’s about motivating yourself with kindness rather than judgment. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in your ability to cope.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapy is like a workout for your brain, helping you stay focused, calm, and grounded. Think of it as hitting the pause button on life’s chaos. We’ll use easy-to-follow exercises like breathing techniques and body awareness to help you connect with the present moment. You’ll learn how to observe your thoughts and feelings without instantly reacting to them, giving you more control over your emotional responses. It’s about training your mind to handle stress better and feel more balanced in everyday life. Together, we’ll practice mindfulness techniques that help you feel more centered, more often.
