My goal is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and empowered to begin working toward positive change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in working with adults and teenagers who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life challenges that are impacting their emotional well-being and daily functioning. I have a strong background in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be from childhood abuse, personal loss, or traumatic life events. My clients often seek a non-judgmental, empathetic environment where they can freely express themselves and explore the root causes of their struggles. They value a collaborative approach to therapy and are ready to actively engage in the process of healing and self-discovery.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT with wide range on issues such as anxiety and depression, as well as trauma
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. I use it to address a variety of issues, such as eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem issues
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
This approach is often most beneficial for people who want a more focused, goal-oriented approach to therapy
Trauma-Focused CBT
TF-CBT is effective for anyone who has experienced individual trauma or multiple traumatic event. I use it to help teens and adults learn skills to cope with trauma, face and resolve trauma and related concerns.
Eclectic
It is a flexible and multifaceted approach to therapy that allows me to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client's needs.
