My passion is to help individuals reach their goals in therapy and mental health using evidence-based therapy and feedback to find the best solution for each client. My goal is to be your guide in finding your voice, reaching your goals, and empowering you to take the next steps in your life. My focus is solution-focused, CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed therapy.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and complete a brief assessment to give me a picture of how best to help you .

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am here for you! Starting therapy can be scary but a huge step in empowering yourself for better mental health.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT provides skills to cope and reduce distress. It can be applied to many of life's challenges and easily incorporated throughout the day. I use this in sessions to help clients learn how to regulate their emotions and improve communication skills .

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT along with DBT to examine thoughts and thought patterns. Together with clients we can work on changing thoughts, and behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing

I just motivational interviewing to help clients define their readiness for change and what is the next step to take in their journey. It can help to fully define how motivated we are , and what we need to get to the next level of motivation or identify what the barriers are to progress .

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Sometimes clients need help with one specific big issue and solution-focused therapy can help problem-solve, support , and resolve life transitions. Solution-focused therapy is a great option for those who need only brief therapy .
