I work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and family or relationship difficulties. Many clients seek treatment because they feel overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure how to manage the challenges they’re facing. My approach is structured and evidence‑based. I focus on helping you understand the factors contributing to your symptoms and developing clear, practical strategies for change. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness‑based interventions to support emotional regulation, improve coping skills, and build healthier behavioral patterns. Accountability is an important part of the work we do together. I will support you, but I will also provide direct feedback and encourage consistent follow‑through on the changes you identify as important. Progress requires active participation, and I work best with clients who are ready to take responsibility for implementing new skills and strategies between sessions. My Style is: Straightforward – Honest and clear, but always respectful. Practical – Tools that work in everyday life, not just theory. Explorative – Space to reflect deeply in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Encouraging – Support that helps you feel capable, validated, and motivated to change. Accountability-focused – Growth comes from owning your choices and committing to real change. This works well if you are willing to: • Look at your own patterns and find areas for growth and change • Practice new skills between our sessions and create a plan for change • Stay open to feedback, exploration, and trying approaches that fit your unique needs
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I’ll ask direct, clarifying questions to understand your experiences and identify patterns that may be affecting your daily life. The evaluation is structured but collaborative creating a space where you can reflect openly while I gather the information needed to form an accurate picture of where you are and what you need. The goal of this first meeting is to build insight and establish a foundation for treatment. As we continue, we’ll outline clear goals and begin introducing strategies tailored to your symptoms and priorities. Over time, these insights will turn into practical, evidence‑based tools to help you manage anxiety, reduce unhelpful habits, and build confidence in a sustainable way.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a clinician are straightforward communication, logical problem‑solving, and a balanced approach that combines structure with open exploration. I help you understand what’s happening and why, while also giving you space to reflect and make connections at your own pace. I ask clear, focused questions and offer direct feedback to help identify patterns that may be affecting your daily functioning. At the same time, I create room for deeper exploration so we can understand the context behind those patterns, not just the surface‑level symptoms. I break down evidence‑based strategies into simple, practical steps, but I don’t force a rigid structure. We move between insight and action in a way that fits your needs and supports meaningful, sustainable change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m an active therapist. That means I’m fully engaged with you in every session—listening, challenging, and supporting you as you work toward your goals. You will also be able to identify what your part is in the difficulties, through personal insight and accountability, to make the changes you desire and to end patterns that no longer work for you. My role is to give you the tools, information, and environment you need to succeed. I help you understand the context behind your struggles so you can move forward. My approach is customized, non‑judgmental, and strength‑based. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), two of the most effective evidence‑based methods.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely-used therapeutic approach that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By exploring the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT helps individuals develop coping strategies for various challenges. Through collaboration with a trained therapist, clients learn to reframe unhelpful thoughts and cultivate healthier responses to stressors. Over time, this process can lead to improved emotional well-being and adaptive problem-solving skills.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. It aims to help individuals develop skills in emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. DBT is especially effective in treating conditions such as borderline personality disorder and chronic suicidal thoughts. By focusing on acceptance and change, DBT empowers individuals to create meaningful shifts in their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
