Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I love to provide a warm and safe space for clients to share. In an initial session, I usually briefly explore a client's background, then begin to explore the issues that are currently causing challenges. I want to hear what each person is wanting out of therapy, then we discuss how we can reach those goals together.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I utilize a combination of evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness practices.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I strive to build on a client's strengths to facilitate growth in their lives. I focus on building on a client's current abilities, teaching new skills, and empowering each person to become the best version of themselves.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with clients who want to address a multitude of topics including anxiety, depression, women's issues, difficulty in relationships, grief and loss, self-esteem, and stress.
