I understand that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable experience. I'm here to offer a safe and supportive space. I believe in the power of human connection to navigate challenges and find healing. With 13 years of experience as a social worker, I've had the privilege of supporting diverse individuals and families through life's challenges. My background includes work with foster and adoptive families, refugees, military and veteran populations, individuals struggling with addiction, and those seeking guidance through Christian counseling.

My integrative approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, trauma focused and humanistic techniques to empower individuals in exploring their thoughts and emotions, promoting personal growth and resilience.
First session
Clients can expect to take away a deeper understanding of themselves, improved coping strategies, self compassion and enhanced emotional resilience. They will gain insights into their thoughts and behaviors, develop personalized goals, and learn effective tools for managing challenges.
Strengths
My style is open minded, empowering, culturally sensitive, trauma informed, holistic and integrative.
Ideal clients
My approach resonates most with individuals who are motivated to make changes. I focus on helping clients set realistic goals and find the tools they need to succeed. If you're looking for a therapist who will work collaboratively with you and support your journey of personal growth, I may be a good fit.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have utilized ACT for assisting clients in managing chronic pain, substance use, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their challenges. My approach is client-centered, blending evidence-based techniques with sensitivity to each individual’s unique experiences and values.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help clients address the impact of trauma on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CPT is particularly effective for individuals experiencing PTSD or trauma-related symptoms. My approach is structured, empathetic, and tailored to each client’s needs.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In therapy, I use mindfulness-based approaches to help clients build awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment. This is particularly helpful for managing stress, anxiety, trauma, and addiction, as well as fostering overall emotional regulation and resilience.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence about making positive changes in their lives. This client-centered approach is particularly effective for individuals struggling with addiction, managing behavioral challenges, or navigating major life transitions.
