I take a holistic approach to therapy, integrating strength-based, and mindfulness-based perspectives with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In addition to traditional therapy approaches, I am EMDR-trained, utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help individuals process and heal from trauma.
My expertise includes life transitions, codependency, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, stress management, anger management, impulse control, and behavioral therapy. Mental health is not just my career—it is my passion and life’s purpose. For over a decade, I have been dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges in a healthier, more empowered way. I believe in meeting my patients where they are, helping them develop the tools they need to heal, grow, and reach their personal goals.
During the intake session, patients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they will be encouraged to share their concerns and goals. I will ask questions to understand their background, current challenges, and expectations for therapy. Together, we’ll discuss the therapeutic process, establish confidentiality, and outline a plan tailored to their unique needs, ensuring they feel supported and understood from the very start.
Past patients have reported feeling more confident in managing challenges and are empowered to incorporate the skills and tools they’ve learned during our sessions into their daily lives. Many leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a clearer path forward. As well, they have expressed their appreciation for my compassionate and understanding approach, which helps them feel genuinely heard and supported. This unique blend of empathy and relatability sets me apart from other therapists, allowing patients to engage in meaningful conversations and build trust throughout their healing journey.
