First session
In your first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and setting the foundation for our work together. I will ask about what brings you to therapy, your background, and any concerns or goals you have. This is a safe and supportive space where you can share at your own pace—there’s no pressure to dive too deep right away. We will also discuss what you hope to gain from therapy and how we can tailor our approach to best support your needs. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer sense of the therapeutic process and the next steps on your journey toward healing and growth.
Strengths
As a therapist, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I bring a deep sense of empathy, active listening, and a client-centered approach that tailors therapy to each individual's unique needs. My integrative style allows me to draw from various evidence-based modalities, ensuring a flexible and effective treatment plan. I am also skilled at helping clients uncover deeper patterns, build self-awareness, and develop practical strategies for lasting change. Above all, I am committed to fostering meaningful growth and empowering clients to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
Ideal clients
I work best with individuals who are seeking deeper self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful change in their lives. My practice is well-suited for clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and issues related to self-worth. I also specialize in helping professionals manage stress, perfectionism, and burnout, as well as those exploring identity, personal growth, or past experiences that impact their present. Whether you’re looking to heal, develop healthier coping strategies, or gain clarity on your path forward, I provide a compassionate and structured space to support your journey.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
The foundation of my practice is based on the respect I have for my clients, and my therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. As a trained and experienced therapist, I am not only technically objective, but also provide you with emotional nourishment and assistance as you work through problem areas in your life. Psychotherapy is about growth and transformation and equips you to overcome challenges impacting your family, job or relationships. My areas of expertise include addiction, relationship or job-related issues, depression, anxiety and stress. I employ solution focused therapy based on psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. I am also a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) to evaluate employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up, testing, and aftercare.
