Navigating life at any age can be tough, and it’s important to remember that some struggles are too challenging to face on your own. I believe that everyone has strengths and the ability to grow, overcome challenges, and heal. That’s why I intend to support you on your journey by helping you get the most out of therapy and life. I provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to discover, use, and expand your strengths. I also use evidence-based approaches suited to your specific needs, goals, personality, and learning style.
With 15 years of experience in community mental health and residential treatment, I use evidence-based approaches for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, identity exploration, education/career transitions, and LGBTQIA+ issues.
Don't let doubts stop you from reaching your goals. You deserve happiness and fulfillment in every part of your life. If my profile resonates with you, I would be honored to join you on your journey. I look forward to being someone you can trust, depend on, and work with to achieve the meaningful change you seek.

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.
- 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.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- 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.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Helps clients challenge and replace irrational beliefs. It is an action-oriented approach for lasting change.
- 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: As your therapist, I will invest time in learning about your background and current situation. Learning about your upbringing, life experiences, and nature and nurture factors will help us understand what may shape your thoughts, behaviors, values, beliefs, personality, strengths, and coping abilities.
