I’m committed to your well-being and growth, and together, we will focus on building resilience, finding clarity, and creating lasting positive change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming conversation where we’ll talk about your goals, concerns, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. I’ll take the time to understand your unique background and any challenges you're facing. This session is an opportunity for you to ask questions, share your thoughts, and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a comfortable and supportive environment where you feel heard and valued as we start this journey together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my deep sense of empathy and ability to actively listen, which allow me to truly understand and connect with my clients. I take pride in adapting my therapeutic approach to fit each individual’s unique needs, ensuring that our work together is effective and meaningful. I also focus on creating a collaborative and supportive environment, where clients feel empowered to explore their challenges and work towards their goals with confidence.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In our sessions, we'll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore how your thoughts influence your emotions and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify any negative thinking patterns and work on replacing them with more positive and constructive ways of thinking. My goal is to provide you with practical tools and coping strategies that not only help you manage current challenges but also equip you to handle future difficulties with confidence.
Polyvagal Therapy
In our work together, we’ll explore Polyvagal Theory to understand how your nervous system responds to trauma and stress, and how these responses impact your emotions and behaviors. We’ll dive into how your body’s fight, flight, or freeze reactions are triggered, helping you recognize these patterns and develop strategies for better self-regulation.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In our sessions, we'll use Solution-Focused Therapy to focus on your strengths and how to build on them to create positive change. Instead of dwelling on problems, we’ll focus on solutions and what’s already working well in your life. Together, we’ll set clear, achievable goals and explore practical steps to help you reach them
Child Parent Psychotherapy
In our work together, I use Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) to address both your child’s and your emotional needs. We’ll focus on strengthening the parent-child relationship by addressing trauma and emotional challenges. Together, we’ll work on improving your interactions, enhancing parenting strategies, and supporting your child’s emotional development.
