My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based strategies that empower people to navigate challenges and foster meaningful change. I take a whole-person approach to mental wellness, recognizing that emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns are deeply interconnected.

Ultimately, my goal is to help people reduce the impact of stress, develop self-awareness, and adopt healthier ways of thinking and being so they can lead more fulfilling lives.

Key aspects of my approach include:

🔹 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – At the core of your practice, CBT helps clients recognize and reframe negative thinking, develop healthier coping strategies, and create actionable steps toward personal growth.

🔹 Strength-Based & Solution-Focused – You see mental wellness not as the absence of illness but as an opportunity for resilience and self-empowerment. Your approach focuses on what works rather than just what’s wrong.

🔹 Nonjudgmental Space– I create a safe space where people feel seen, heard, and respected, especially when working through past wounds, relationship struggles, or self-doubt.

🔹 Curious Exploration & Self-Discovery – I guide people through thoughtful questioning to uncover unhelpful thought patterns, emotional triggers, and behavioral habits that may be holding someone back from growth and change.

🔹 Personalized & Collaborative – Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I work with each person to develop a tailored plan that aligns with their goals, values, and life circumstances.

People who work with me can expect to leave each session with greater clarity, practical strategies, and a sense of empowerment to navigate their challenges. My approach ensures that people don’t just talk about their struggles—they gain actionable insights that help them move forward.

What Can Someone Expect to Take Away from a Session with Me:

🔹 Increased Self-Awareness – Through curious questioning and guided exploration, people gain a deeper understanding of their thought patterns, emotional triggers, and behaviors.

🔹 Practical Tools & Coping Strategies – I provide evidence-based techniques, such as CBT strategies, mindfulness practices, and boundary-setting skills, that people can apply immediately to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

🔹 A Shift in Perspective – People often leave with a new way of looking at a situation, helping them break free from negative thinking loops, self-doubt, or past conditioning that may be holding them back.

🔹 Personalized Action Steps – Each session is tailored to the individual needs, so they walk away with clear, actionable steps to implement between sessions, fostering progress and long-term growth.

🔹 Validation & Emotional Support – People report feeling heard, understood, and supported in a nonjudgmental and safe space, making it easier to explore difficult emotions and experiences.

🔹 Encouragement & Motivation for Change – Whether working through relationship struggles, anxiety, or life transitions, people often leave feeling more empowered to take meaningful action toward their goals.
