About me

**You're not alone in this.** Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, stress, or self-doubt take hold. Maybe you find yourself stuck in negative thought patterns, struggling with relationships, or feeling like you're falling short despite your best efforts. If you're exhausted from trying to manage it all on your own, I want you to know—there is a way forward. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard and supported. We'll work to uncover what’s keeping you stuck, build confidence in your ability to navigate challenges, and develop strategies to help you move toward the life you want. **When you're ready to take that first step, I'm here to help. Reach out, and let's start your journey to feeling better.**

Get to know me

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

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where we focus on **what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve**. We'll discuss your current challenges, explore your thoughts and emotions, and begin identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I’ll also share how I approach therapy and ensure you feel comfortable with the process. By the end of our session, you'll have a clearer understanding of your goals and a few actionable steps you can take right away. Most importantly, you'll leave knowing you’re not alone in this—I'm here to support you every step of the way.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a provider are **creating a safe, nonjudgmental space, meeting clients where they are, and helping them feel seen and heard**. I take a warm, client-centered approach, ensuring that each person feels valued and understood. I excel at **helping clients identify patterns, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools for change** without feeling overwhelmed. I balance empathy with action, guiding clients toward meaningful progress while honoring their unique journey. My ability to connect, listen deeply, and empower clients to navigate challenges with confidence is at the core of my work.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals who feel stuck—whether in anxiety, self-doubt, grief, or life transitions. My clients often struggle with overwhelming emotions, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling like they’re not enough despite their efforts. They may be navigating challenges in relationships, academic or career pressures, or questioning their identity and purpose. I provide a safe, supportive space where clients can gain clarity, build confidence, and develop practical strategies to move forward. If you’re ready to break free from negative patterns and create meaningful change, I’m here to help.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, allowing them to make meaningful changes. My approach is structured and goal-oriented, focusing on identifying negative thought patterns, developing healthier perspectives, and practicing new coping strategies. I emphasize practical application, encouraging clients to apply what they learn in real life to build lasting skills. This method is effective in both brief and ongoing therapy, helping clients gain insight, reduce distress, and improve overall well-being.

Eclectic

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, integrating CBT with other evidence-based methods to tailor treatment to each client's needs. While I use CBT to help clients identify patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, I also draw from solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and relational approaches to provide a well-rounded, personalized experience.
