Starting where you are is the first step in every new journey. I want to help guide you on your journey by helping you to unlock your own inner power to make transformative changes in your life. This can sound overwhelming, but you don’t have to do this work alone. I take a client-centered approach by meeting you wherever you may be in your journey of healing and self-discovery. Whether it be depression, anxiety, trauma, work or family stress or issues surrounding self-esteem and identity, you’ll receive the support that you need. I get it. Therapy can be intimidating. That is why I aim to provide a safe and affirming space for my clients to open up, grow and heal. In my 7 years as a social worker, compassion and understanding have always been at the cornerstone of the work that I do with my clients. Our sessions will not be the exception to this. This along with evidence-based techniques will be the key to helping you identify and overcome the barriers in your life, currently. Ready to work together? Let’s do it!

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

My primary goal in any therapeutic relationship is to build rapport with my clients. I want to get to know you so that I know how best to support you where you are. Earning your trust is another important goal. When sharing personal and private aspects of one’s life, trust is essential in the person feeling safe and validated. After each session, I want my clients to have felt heard and validated.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My personal belief is that everyone has the ability to live the life they envision for themselves. My goal as a therapist is to support that vision by empowering my clients and equipping them with the necessary tools to make positive changes in their lives. Therefore, I utilize a client-centered therapy approach with all of my clients by meeting them wherever they are in their lives. My therapeutic interventions include: CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) Solution-Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy.

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

My specializations include: treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma and issues surrounding identity and self-esteem. With that said, I possess an intuition that enables me to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of who they are.
