We grow at our own pace, but it is my experience that with counseling support, personal evolution can happen more quickly. As a Clinical Psychology Doctoral Candidate, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Life Coach, my background is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems with an emphasis on mindfulness, behavioral changes, emotional regulation and finding solutions. My practice is built on positive psychology, the Gottman Couples Therapy model, attachment theories, cognitive behavioral theory & emotional intelligence. It is my pleasure to join clients for however brief or long. Entering a therapeutic relationship can seem intimidating. Working together based on my client's reason for therapy, we plan & prioritize areas for personal growth. I check in frequently with my clients to ensure that our work together is helpful and moving in the direction the client is aiming for.

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

The first session with me will include an introduction to me and my therapeutic approach, as well as an intake with my client going over online intake surveys, and discussion of client goals and treatment plan.

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