What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Through utilizing collaboration, we will set goals that feel attainable and realistic. We will take small steps to achieve these goals and use our strengths and supports already in place to help in the process. Reaching goals is up to you, and I am here for every step of the journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have over 3 years of experience helping adults, teens and families in crisis. With experience across diverse settings, including hospitals and schools, I’ve developed a wide range of tools to support clients through varying levels of distress. I take an eclectic therapeutic approach, tailoring my methods to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma related to their experiences/relationships. During our initial sessions, we will discuss whatever feels most relevant and safe, and create a plan to address things in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients gain a sense of safety in therapy, and begin recognizing their own power to reach their goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience. Through structured interventions such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and mindfulness techniques, I support clients in gaining new perspectives on their thoughts and emotions. My goal is to empower individuals with practical skills they can use to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance their overall well-being
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. By integrating acceptance and change-based strategies, I support clients in managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and building healthier relationships. Through structured interventions such as skills training, validation techniques, and guided problem-solving, I empower individuals to create a life that aligns with their values and long-term goals.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I utilize Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. By emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness, I help individuals explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. My goal is to foster self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth, allowing clients to tap into their own strengths and inner resources to navigate life’s challenges.
