I am a dedicated health and wellness professional passionate about empowering individuals to improve their mental health and quality of life. My goal is to help clients take control of their mental health by increasing self-awareness, developing new coping strategies, and overcoming negative thought patterns. Through an integrative approach, I focus on both the mind and body, recognizing the vital connection between the two in achieving optimal well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I am committed to helping clients heal emotional wounds, break maladaptive behaviors, and build a life filled with personal growth, meaningful connections, and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I use a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual’s needs. My neuroscience-informed methods guide clients in changing long-standing brain patterns that may be keeping them stuck, while also addressing societal factors that could influence their mental health.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, past trauma, anger management, poor communication, and other personal obstacles.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT as a practical, solution-focused approach to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and self-limiting behaviors. I explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and work to reframe negative beliefs, build coping skills, and develop healthier responses to life's challenges. My goal is to empower clients with tools that create lasting change, increase self-awareness, and support emotional resilience in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate DBT to support clients in managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and building a greater sense of inner stability. Through a balance of acceptance and change, I help clients develop skills in four key areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers practical tools for navigating overwhelming situations, setting healthy boundaries, and responding rather than reacting.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I integrate mindfulness-based therapy to help clients reconnect with the present moment, reduce stress, and create space between thoughts and reactions. This approach encourages gentle awareness of your inner experience—thoughts, feelings, and sensations—without judgment. I help cultivate practices that support calm, clarity, and emotional balance, allowing clients to respond to life with greater intention.
Psychoanalytic
I draw from psychoanalytic therapy to help clients uncover and understand the deeper, often unconscious patterns that shape their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. By exploring early experiences, internal conflicts, and core beliefs, we bring hidden dynamics into awareness so they no longer drive behavior from behind the scenes. This process allows for greater self-understanding, emotional insight, and the freedom to make more intentional choices. I hold a reflective, nonjudgmental space where lasting change can emerge through deeper inner work.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use a solution-focused approach to help clients move toward their goals by identifying strengths, building on what’s already working, and envisioning the future they want to create. Rather than focusing on problems, we focus on possibilities—highlighting resilience, resources, and the small steps that lead to meaningful change. This brief, empowering method is ideal for clients who want to gain clarity, make decisions, and experience progress in a practical, forward-moving way.
