I’m here to support you on your journey toward greater self-awareness and emotional well-being. In our individual sessions, we’ll explore how your past experiences shape your present feelings and behaviors, including any underlying self-doubt or anxiety. By identifying these patterns, we can work together to build self-compassion and a deeper understanding of your story. Using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness, we’ll address the feelings associated with anxiety and self-doubt. I’ll help you develop practical strategies to navigate overwhelming emotions and cultivate a sense of presence and connection. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can express yourself freely, celebrate your strengths, and begin to feel more grounded and open to life’s possibilities.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths as a provider come from six years of experience working with young adults, during which I’ve cultivated an effective approach to help clients identify the root causes of their challenges, design personalized plans that promote measurable progress, and develop psychological flexibility. I am a passionate advocate for mindfulness-based practices and tools, having seen their transformative effects on clients from various backgrounds and ages.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with young adults who are navigating the complexities of their past and present, particularly how childhood dynamics may influence their current relationships. My ideal clients are motivated to understand these patterns and eager to build the life they envision for themselves. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious but are ready to develop the tools and strategies needed to move forward and create meaningful change. By incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) activites, we’ll focus on fostering psychological flexibility and aligning their actions with their core values. Together, we’ll harness their strengths as we explore their experiences and work toward their goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
In my practice, I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients cultivate psychological flexibility and resilience. ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fight against them, promoting a mindful approach to difficult emotions. By clarifying personal values, clients learn to commit to actions that align with those values, leading to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Together, we work on building skills to face challenges with compassion and purpose.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In my practice, I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy to help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts and feelings in the present moment. This approach encourages non-judgmental observation, allowing individuals to respond to stressors with clarity rather than react impulsively. By practicing mindfulness techniques, clients can cultivate self-compassion and reduce anxiety, ultimately leading to improved emotional well-being and resilience in their daily lives. Together, we work on integrating these skills into everyday situations for lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to their emotional distress. Through structured sessions, we explore the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, enabling clients to develop healthier perspectives. By implementing practical strategies and coping skills, clients learn to reframe negative thoughts and engage in more positive actions, ultimately fostering greater emotional well-being and resilience.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I utilize Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify and build on their strengths and resources to achieve their goals. This approach emphasizes finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems, encouraging clients to envision their desired future and explore practical steps to get there. By focusing on past successes and positive experiences, we cultivate a sense of hope and empowerment, enabling clients to make meaningful changes in their lives.
