I'm affirming of all religions, races, ethnicities, cultures, and worldviews. I enjoy working with relationship issues (romantic, family, friendships), domestic violence, social anxiety, agoraphobia, depression, generalized anxiety, neurodivergence, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, sexual abuse, academic stress, trauma, bipolar disorder, hoarding, personality disorders, and work stress. I have a casual, no-pressure approach. Whenever I have questions, I won't push a person for answers if they don't feel ready to talk about a topic.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Before the first session, I'll send you a welcome email explaining how things work. I can also answer any questions you might have. During the first session, I'll try to create a safe space for you to share what you're hoping to do in therapy. If a person isn't sure what their goals are yet, that's okay. We can talk about that together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strength is my warm personality. I'm very easy going and I love talking with people.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adults of all ages - from Gen Zs to Boomers.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I enjoy using ACT because it uses a person's values as a guide for their decisions. It also uses mindfulness to view situations differently.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a modality from the 1960s, but its concepts are timeless. It teaches people how to address and resolve thought distortions. It also highlights the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I use concepts from CBT often for certain issues, but I don't use it for other things, like trauma.
Attachment-based
Attachment is such an important part of successful and healthy social relationships. It's getting much needed attention on social media lately.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I use CPT to help people to overcome trauma. When someone experiences a traumatic event, it can cause them to question themselves and their worldview. The steps in this model address those beliefs, and test them for accuracy. PTSD is also made worse by avoidance, which is also addressed in this modality.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a great modality. It was originally designed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder, but now we apply it to many things. The basis for this model is cognitive. It can help people who have intense emotions to think more clearly and curb behaviors that might be unhealthy, or even self-destructive.

We have only had one session so far but I do feel genuinely comfortable speaking to her. She was very polite and a very good listener, and was keen on asking as many questions as she could to make sure we were both on topic! I absolutely see myself staying with her and can not wait to see what the future holds
