I'm here to guide individuals, couples, and families through life's challenges, such as depression or trauma, especially those rooted in relationships or family dynamics. I believe in your inherent wholeness and resilience, and I'm here to help you rediscover that strength within yourself. Through our work together, we'll explore your experiences and uncover the courage to embrace change and vulnerability
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a safe and supportive space where your voice truly matters. It's a time to share your story, express your needs without judgment, and simply vent if you need to. Consider it the beginning of a collaborative journey where we'll explore your experiences together. I'll be there to encourage you, challenge you to grow, and dive deep into the healing process with you – as long as you're ready to take that first step.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is creating a genuine connection with my clients. I offer an open-minded and considerate space, providing direct yet comfortable guidance. I'm deeply invested in your growth, authentically celebrating your journey towards your best self. My clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to "listen deeply," and "offer insightful perspectives". Ultimately, I'm here to walk alongside you, offering support and encouragement every step of the way.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I'm here to serve anyone ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Whether you're struggling with past hurts, feeling lost, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I'm here to guide you. If you're open to exploring your inner world, embracing vulnerability, and finding the strength to create positive change, we can work together to achieve your goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than struggling with them. We'll work on identifying your values and taking actions that align with those values, even when facing challenges. This approach can help you find greater peace and meaning in your life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps us understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. We'll identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies to change those patterns. This can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and other challenges.
Narrative
Narrative therapy sees your life as a story with different narratives or themes. We'll explore those narratives, understand how they shape your experiences and work together to create more empowering and positive narratives. This can help you re-author your story and find new meaning in your life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
This approach focuses on your strengths and what's already working in your life. We'll explore your goals and identify solutions that have worked for you in the past. This can help you build on your successes and create positive change.
Trauma Informed Care
I recognize the impact that trauma can have on your life and well-being. I provide a safe and supportive space for you to process your experiences and develop coping strategies. This approach prioritizes your safety and empowerment.
