“Let’s walk together through the process to heal, piece by peace.” I work with children, adults, and families who are navigating significant life stressors and the effects of trauma. Grounded in trauma-informed care, I am passionate about advocacy, healing relationships, and creating meaningful change. Through thoughtful assessment and individualized, evidence-based interventions, I support clients as they move toward healing—piece by peace.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll begin with a brief conversation to help you feel comfortable and understood. This is your space to share what brings you in, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. I’ll ask about your history, lifestyle, and current challenges in ways that feel relevant and respectful of your needs. Rather than an evaluation, this session is a collaborative discovery process where we explore patterns, experiences, or behaviors connected to what you’d like to work on. By the end of our time together, we’ll clarify your goals, discuss how our work may move forward, and outline what you can expect in future sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my approach is my belief that therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Every client brings unique experiences, strengths, and goals, so I tailor interventions specifically to you. My work is grounded in evidence-based frameworks such as trauma-informed care, CBT, mindfulness, and other approaches as clinically appropriate. Therapy is a collaborative partnership—I work alongside you to explore solutions, build practical coping skills, and create strategies you can use in everyday life. While honoring the process of self-discovery, I remain outcome-focused, supporting meaningful change such as reduced stress, stronger relationships, increased resilience, and progress toward the goals that matter most to you.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to work with individuals, families, and children who are seeking clarity, growth, and meaningful change. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps and ready to explore patterns and possibilities in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. Therapy is a good fit if you are open to self-reflection and willing to engage honestly with your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My approach is especially helpful for those navigating life transitions or challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, or career changes. If you are motivated to take action, build practical skills, and strengthen your sense of empowerment and emotional well-being, we may work well together.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Collaborative Process CBT is a partnership. Together, we explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Practical & Action-Oriented CBT is highly structured and goal-focused. I help clients develop actionable strategies, such as challenging negative thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and using tools like thought records or exposure exercises. Tailored to Your Needs While CBT has proven frameworks, I adapt techniques to fit your personality, preferences, and specific goals—ensuring the approach is practical and meaningful for your life. Skills You Can Use Outside Therapy One of the strengths of CBT is that it equips clients with tangible skills. My goal is for you to leave sessions with tools you can apply in real-world situations, empowering you to manage challenges more effectively. Measurable Progress CBT allows us to track progress in concrete ways, whether that’s reducing anxiety, improving mood, or achieving specific behavioral goals. Clients often notice meaningful change within a few sessions when they actively apply the strategies we develop together. The Result: Clients gain insight into how their thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, learn practical coping skills, and build confidence in their ability to handle life’s challenges.
