In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your initial session would include a spoken intake assessment for me to learn more about you and the presenting issues, while also helping us to build rapport, discuss goals, and create a treatment plan that works best for you.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

My therapy style is genuine, integrative, and strengths-based. I do not tie myself to a singular therapeutic method, but rather work to blend elements from different approaches in order to tailor each client’s treatment based on specific needs. Using various talk therapy methods such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness techniques, I strive to help each individual feel comfortable and understood.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My existing clients have told me that I have a calming presence, which helps to put them at ease & makes it easier to open up about things that may normally be difficult to talk about. I help clients to work toward their goals one step at a time, empowering them to believe that the changes they want to see in their lives are not only possible, but attainable. I believe that my greatest strength, which not only led me to this profession but keeps me going each day, is kindness.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work particularly well with those who are going through life transitions, experiencing relationship and/or family issues, or challenges with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
