Welcome! I work with adults who are navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and trauma. My ideal client is someone ready to explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe, supportive environment. If you’re seeking to understand yourself better, develop coping strategies, and foster personal growth, you’re in the right place. Together, we can work towards healing and empowerment, helping you to create a fulfilling and balanced life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, you can expect a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where you can share your story at your own pace. We’ll take time to discuss what brings you to therapy, focusing on your specific challenges. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences and goals, and we’ll work together collaborating to establish a plan that feels right for you. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, validated, and supported as we begin this journey together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strengths lie in my integrative approach and diverse therapeutic techniques. With experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), soultion-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices, I tailor my methods to fit each client’s unique needs. My empathetic and collaborative style allows me to build strong connections, fostering a safe space for exploration and healing. Additionally, my background in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance misuse equips me to support clients through a variety of challenges, empowering them on their journey to recovery and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational therapeutic approach. CBT is a structured therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through CBT, I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other emotional struggles. In our sessions, I guide clients in developing practical skills to reframe their thinking and cultivate healthier coping strategies. This process not only promotes immediate relief from distress but also fosters long-term resilience. I appreciate the collaborative nature of CBT, as it empowers clients to take an active role in their healing journey.
Integrative
My therapeutic practice is grounded in an integrative approach, which allows me to blend various techniques and methodologies tailored to each client’s unique needs. This flexibility enables me to draw from a range of evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), ensuring that we find the most effective strategies for your specific challenges. By combining elements from different therapeutic modalities, I create a holistic treatment plan that addresses not only the symptoms you may be experiencing but also the underlying issues. This integrative approach fosters a deeper understanding of your experiences and empowers you to explore and heal in a way that resonates with you personally.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is a foundational approach in my practice that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma on individuals and prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment in the therapeutic relationship. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an innovative and effective approach designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). ART integrates elements of traditional therapy with guided imagery and bilateral stimulation, allowing clients to reprocess distressing memories in a safe and supportive environment. During ART sessions, you will be guided to visualize traumatic memories while engaging in specific eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. This technique helps to activate the brain's natural healing mechanisms, enabling you to reframe and integrate your experiences without the need for extensive verbal exploration of the trauma itself. Many clients experience significant relief from symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, and emotional distress, often as quickly as after the first session.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In our sessions, I guide you in using mindfulness techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and grounding exercises. These practices can help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and enhance emotional regulation. By fostering a greater awareness of your internal experiences, mindfulness-based therapy allows you to break the cycle of rumination and negative thinking patterns often associated with anxiety and depression.
