Do you feel lost, stuck, burned out, or afraid of the unknown? Do you struggle with self-compassion and maintaining healthy boundaries? Are you looking for a space where you can show up fully as yourself? Through a relational lens that recognizes the importance of the mind-body-soul connection, I can assist you in uncovering and working through patterns, thoughts, and experiences that are no longer serving you while re-awakening joy, connection, curiosity, and ease. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for reflection, change, personal development, and growth. It is my honor to hold space for healing and self-discovery to unfold at a pace that is directed by you. Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision that takes time and care. Schedule a free phone consultation if you'd like to connect and determine if we are the right fit for each other. I look forward to speaking with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As a strong advocate for earning trust, I approach our initial conversations with a deep desire to truly understand you! Anticipate a safe haven, devoid of judgment, where you'll find a compassionate listener ready to hear and support you every step of the way.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My compassionate spirit is often hailed as my greatest asset. Life's challenges are plentiful, and the last thing you need is judgment. That's why in my practice, extending compassion and empathy is essential. I'll push you to grow, but always with a gentle touch, rooted in kindness and love.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Looking for clients who are open to change, eager to learn, but flexible with oneself in understanding change can be hard. So they must learn to forgive themselves if they don't get it right the first time. Also one to who knows they are not alone on this journey and that Im here to help guide them every step of the way.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns to help them develop healthier ways of thinking. This involves setting goals, help one to recognize cognitive distortions, and implement behavioral modification techniques to promote lasting change.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
With Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients develop skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This involves teaching practical techniques, such as mindfulness exercises and emotion regulation strategies, while balancing acceptance and change-oriented approaches. This allows clients to "radically accept" their circumstances and learn to cope with any challenge life may throw their way.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution Focused Treatment, to help client's focus on their strengths and goals, by assisting them in envision their desired future and identify goals that can help them reach their desired outcomes. Sessions are brief, emphasizing progress and practical solutions rather than dwelling on life's challenges. Together I can help you achieve your desired life by helping you create small achievable goals.
