Get to know me

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

In your first session, our focus will be on getting to know each other and creating a strong foundation for your therapeutic journey. I’ll invite you to share your story—your history, current concerns, and what led you to seek support. Together, we’ll identify your goals and begin shaping a clear path forward. My priority is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. From there, we’ll collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a provider, my greatest strength is creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen and supported. I draw from evidence-based approaches—including DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy—while tailoring each session to the unique needs of the individual. Grounded in a trauma-informed perspective, I ensure that clients can explore difficult emotions at their own pace, with trust and safety at the forefront. I specialize in helping clients strengthen emotional resilience, deepen self-awareness, and shift unhelpful thought patterns into healthier perspectives. By actively listening and validating each person’s lived experience, I build strong therapeutic relationships that foster empowerment and growth. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they uncover new tools, reframe their stories, and move toward lasting healing and meaningful change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve both teens and adults who are navigating a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My approach is always individualized, honoring the unique developmental needs of each client. For adolescents, I recognize that this stage of life often brings identity exploration, social pressures, and emotional regulation struggles. I provide a supportive environment where teens can safely explore self-esteem, peer relationships, academic stress, and family dynamics. By integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness, I help adolescents build coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier ways of managing stress during this critical period of growth. For adults, I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions such as career changes or parenting adjustments. I also support those navigating codependency, unresolved trauma, or PTSD. Through a trauma-informed lens, I create a safe, judgment-free space where healing can occur without fear of re-traumatization. I often incorporate Narrative Therapy to help adults reframe their life stories, shift negative self-perceptions, and rediscover empowerment and purpose. I also have extensive experience working with clients facing personality disorders, substance use, and eating disorders. Using DBT and mindfulness-based interventions, I guide clients in improving emotional regulation, building distress tolerance, managing impulsivity, and cultivating balance in their daily lives. At the heart of my work is a passion for guiding both adolescents and adults toward greater self-understanding, clarity, and growth. My goal is to provide compassionate, client-centered care that helps break unhealthy cycles, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are a teen navigating growing pains or an adult facing life’s challenges, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey to healing and self-discovery.
