People seek therapy for many different reasons. Often it begins with a sense that something feels harder than it should, or that stress and pressure have started to build in ways that are difficult to manage alone.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched too thin, therapy can provide a steady hand to guide you and a grounded space to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Client Focus
Session Format: Individual sessions.
Age Specialty: Adult, Young Adult
Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: With nearly 20 years of clinical experience, I provide consistent, individualized care for adults. Sessions are thoughtful and direct, focused on what will facilitate growth.
My practice focuses on treatment for anxiety, depression, attention-related challenges like ADHD, life transitions, and caregiver stress.
I draw from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and mindfulness-informed techniques, and strengths-based perspectives.
