Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In your first session, you can expect a gentle introduction where you’re invited to share a bit about yourself and what brought you to therapy. I’ll move at your pace and create a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable being open. This is your time and your space—I’m here to listen, support, and walk with you through each step of the process. We’ll also talk about what you hope to gain from therapy, so we can start working toward those goals together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I’m here not only to listen, but to educate, support, and challenge you. I’ll help you understand your patterns, face what feels difficult, and grow beyond what you thought was possible. You’re in the lead—I’m here to walk with you on your journey.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have many years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment approach that helps clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected. Sometimes, our thoughts can make us feel worse or lead us to act in ways that aren't helpful. With CBT, we work together to: Identify unhelpful or negative thoughts Understand how those thoughts impact your emotions and actions Practice new, healthier ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges This approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you feel better and build lasting coping skills.
Strength-Based
With collaboration from the client, I use strength-based approaches to help identify personal strengths, abilities, and resources. Together, we explore past successes, talents, values, support systems, and coping skills. By shifting the focus from problems to potential, we work on reframing your story—empowering you to grow, heal, and become the best version of yourself.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to support children, adolescents, and their caregivers in healing from the effects of trauma. This approach combines trauma-sensitive care with proven cognitive-behavioral techniques. By involving both the child and their caregiver, TF-CBT helps reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges, while also strengthening coping skills and family support.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients recognize their own potential and build on what’s already working in their lives. Focusing only on problems can sometimes make it harder to move forward. With this approach, we shift attention to what is going well, so we can use those strengths and successes to create positive, lasting change.
Motivational Interviewing
I use this treatment method to help clients explore and and resolve ambivalence about change. Sometimes we’re unsure or resistant about making a life change—like stopping a harmful behavior, starting therapy, or working toward a goal.And that’s okay! In therapy I will support your motivation and readiness to change.
