Strengths
Clients have described my approach as warm, supportive, challenging, and insightful.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, work through challenges, and make meaningful changes in their lives. I work with clients experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, racial or race-based trauma, chronic pain, sleep difficulties, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with clients who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person they want to become. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to each client, we’ll work together to develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional and behavioral functioning, and address the thoughts and patterns that may be getting in the way of progress. My goal is to help clients build greater self-awareness, confidence, resilience, and practical skills so they can navigate challenges more effectively and live with greater clarity and purpose.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been formally trained in this theoretical model since graduate school. Although it is considered a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy, I also use it in a collaborative and engaging manner with clients. CBT help manage mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and emotional concerns, such as coping with grief or stress. CBT can also help manage nonpsychological health conditions, such as insomnia and chronic pain.
