Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and exploring what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand your history, current challenges, and goals so we can begin creating a plan that feels right for you. This is a safe, judgment-free space where you are welcome to share at your own pace.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I believe that healing from the past is essential to creating a brighter, more fulfilling future. It would be an honor to support you in overcoming challenges, building resilience, and achieving your personal goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors. I support clients in developing healthier thinking styles and coping strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. I also incorporate structured interventions such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and cognitive restructuring to promote lasting emotional and behavioral change.
Eclectic
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I use an eclectic approach to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, and Person-Centered Therapy. This flexible method allows me to integrate tools and techniques that best support my clients’ goals, preferences, and presenting issues throughout the therapeutic process.
Motivational Interviewing
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence toward change in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way. I guide clients to identify their own reasons for change by eliciting "change talk" and reinforcing their intrinsic motivation. By using reflective listening, open-ended questions, and affirmations, I support clients in building confidence and commitment to their goals.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use Person-Centered Therapy to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard, accepted, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. By offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity, I help clients tap into their inner strengths and move toward personal growth and self-awareness.
