Welcome! Looking for a therapist or starting therapy can make anyone feel anxious, especially you haven't been in therapy before. I truly love the field of counseling and am excited to potentially begin a collaborative journey together! I believe that the client is the one who directs where they want therapy to go, with the guidance of a therapist who not only listen, but not be judgmental in the process. My role is to listen empathetically, challenge you when needed, and ultimately address any goals you have. You may be seeking therapy for a particular situation you are currently going through or it may be multiple life events or mental health issues that you have been struggling with for a while. Either way, I am here to be there for you in a therapeutic and collaborative manner. Good luck on your journey!

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.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- 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: I approach counseling from a collaborative approach, as I believe you, the client, directs what goals you are ready to address. In addition, you guide when and what to discuss within your timing. I will challenge you at times and offer different perspectives to help guide you through your therapy journey. We can process trauma, certain life events, and symptoms you may be struggling with-such as grief, depression, mania, substance use, abuse, etc. We may use homework assignments when necessary and outline and adjust your goals and treatment plan along your therapy journey-together.
