LMHC, 10 years of experience
My therapy style is warm and interactive, and I enjoy building rapport with clients over time. I believe the greatest feeling is when a client knows it's time to transition out of therapy and feels equipped to do so after our time together. I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate challenges and build fulfilling lives. My approach is warm and interactive, focusing on empowering clients with practical tools and coping strategies. Together, we’ll create a personalized path toward your goals and lasting well-being.
In your first session with me, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, discussing your goals for therapy, and identifying what success would look like for you. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy and begin to create a collaborative plan tailored to your needs. This session is a safe, open space for you to share at your own pace.
My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients feel heard and empowered. I excel at helping clients identify practical steps and coping strategies to navigate challenges, while also fostering long-term growth and resilience.
As a therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, women's issues, eating disorders, stress management, depression, and relationship challenges. I foster a safe, collaborative space where we can work together to define your goals and what success looks like for you in therapy. I enjoy equipping clients with practical tools, such as workbook suggestions, journal prompts, and actionable strategies to help them build resilience and create meaningful change. My goal is to help clients shift and redirect unproductive patterns of thought and behavior so they can evolve into fully-realized, fulfilled versions of themselves.
In my practice, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients cultivate psychological flexibility by teaching them to embrace their thoughts and emotions without judgment while focusing on actions that align with their core values. Through mindfulness exercises and value-based goal setting, I guide clients to shift their energy from avoiding discomfort to building a meaningful and purpose-driven life. This approach empowers them to respond to challenges with greater resilience and clarity.
I implement Interpersonal methodology to help clients explore and improve the quality of their relationships and social interactions. By focusing on patterns of communication and attachment, we identify ways to address relational challenges and build stronger, healthier connections. This approach emphasizes the role of interpersonal experiences in shaping emotional well-being and personal growth.
I utilize Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to help clients identify and challenge irrational beliefs that contribute to emotional distress. By examining how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, I guide clients to replace unhelpful beliefs with more rational and empowering ones. This approach fosters greater emotional resilience and equips clients with practical tools to navigate life's challenges.
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify and build on their existing strengths and resources to create practical solutions for their concerns. By focusing on what is working and envisioning their preferred future, I guide clients toward actionable steps that lead to meaningful change. This forward-focused approach empowers clients to achieve their goals efficiently and effectively.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand and modify the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through evidence-based techniques, I work with clients to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier, more constructive ways of thinking and responding. This approach empowers clients to manage their emotions, build resilience, and create lasting positive change.
