My therapy approach is flexible, meeting you where you are and creating a safe space for open sharing, as I believe healing begins when hidden struggles are confronted. Certified in DBT and CBT, with extensive experience in treating substance use, I tailor my approach to your unique needs, helping you overcome resistance and align your life with your personal values. I strive to foster a collaborative and empowering environment throughout our work together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you'll find a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can share openly. I believe that you are the expert on your life and your goals. I'll ask targeted questions about various aspects of your bio-psycho-social life, as I approach therapy from a systems perspective. My aim is to enhance your ability to listen to yourself, trust your instincts, and make informed decisions that align with your knowledge, experience, and values. Together, we'll begin crafting therapy goals early on, empowering you to take action and create meaningful change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My expertise in addressing complex issues, such as substance use and resistance to change, help clients overcome obstacles and align their lives with their personal values. Additionally, I have a keen ability to empower clients, guiding them to trust themselves, make informed decisions, and take meaningful action in their lives.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. By recognizing the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, I guide clients in reframing their thoughts into more positive perspectives. This process empowers them to develop practical coping strategies and make meaningful changes in their lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use an eclectic therapy approach, which means I draw from various therapeutic modalities to best meet each client's unique needs. By combining techniques from different approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I tailor my methods to what works best for you. This flexibility allows me to adapt my style to your specific challenges and goals, ensuring that our work together is both effective and personalized.
EMDR
I am recently trained in EMDR therapy. I use EMDR therapy to help clients process through difficult memories.
