I can help you understand how your brain and body work and even bring a little humor to it. I can support you to not beat yourself up when you screw up, My specialization - trauma, anxiety, panic attack, depression, burned out, stress. No one can tell exactly what needs to change or how. But I can help you figure it out.

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

I begin by conducting a thorough assessment to understand the client's presenting concerns, background, and goals for therapy. Together, we collaboratively establish specific and achievable therapy goals that serve as the foundation for our work together.

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

I recognize that each client is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs and preferences. I am flexible and adaptable in my therapeutic approach, drawing from a range of modalities and techniques to best support each client's journey. I believe in the inherent resilience of my clients and their capacity for growth and healing. I approach therapy with a sense of optimism and hope, encouraging clients to tap into their strengths and resources to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I am committed to staying abreast of the latest research and best practices in the field of mental health. I integrate evidence-based interventions into my work to ensure that clients receive the most effective and up-to-date care.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors to promote positive change and improve overall well-being. My experience with CBT spans a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and various other mood and behavioral issues.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Promotion of psychological flexibility through acceptance. I've found that helping clients cultivate acceptance of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences can lead to profound shifts in their relationship with themselves and others.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

In my practice, mindfulness-based therapy has been a transformative approach for helping clients cultivate greater self-awareness, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

In my practice, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) has been an effective and valuable approach for helping clients who have experienced trauma to process their experiences, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and reclaim their lives.

Mind-body approach

Mind-body therapy recognizes the interconnectedness of mental and physical health. I work with clients to explore the ways in which their thoughts, emotions, and beliefs impact their physical health and vice versa. By addressing both aspects simultaneously, clients can experience profound healing and transformation.
