I’m a licensed clinical social worker passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and find healing. I specialize in providing person-centered, trauma-informed therapy using approaches like mindfulness, Acceptance and commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and achieve meaningful growth.

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

In your first session with me, you can expect to have an open and honest conversation about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We’ll work together to explore your challenges, goals, and concerns, and I’ll help you feel comfortable by creating a safe, non-judgmental space. By the end of the session, we’ll begin to identify the steps needed to start moving forward and develop a plan that aligns with your needs.

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

I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to open up and explore their experiences. I’m also skilled at using a person-centered, trauma-informed approach that meets clients where they are, allowing them to work at their own pace. Additionally, my experience with various therapeutic techniques, such as mindfulness, EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, enables me to offer personalized strategies that empower clients to overcome obstacles and achieve meaningful growth.

My treatment methods

Mind-body approach

I integrate the mind-body approach by helping clients explore the connection between their physical sensations and emotional well-being to promote healing and self-awareness. Through techniques like guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathwork, I support clients in managing stress and processing trauma effectively. This approach allows clients to reconnect with their bodies as a source of strength and resilience.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I incorporate mindfulness by teaching clients to stay present and grounded through techniques such as meditation, mindful breathing, and grounding exercises. These tools empower clients to regulate their emotions and reduce anxiety by focusing on the here and now. Mindfulness is woven into sessions to encourage self-compassion and improve overall mental clarity.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Using ACT, I guide clients to embrace their thoughts and emotions rather than resist them, fostering psychological flexibility. Together, we identify values and create actionable goals that align with those values, encouraging clients to live a more meaningful life. This approach emphasizes acceptance and commitment as tools for navigating challenges and building resilience.
