My approach is client-centered and tailored to each individual's needs. I integrate evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process traumatic experiences and reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories.

During our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your current concerns, personal history, relationships, and goals so I can better understand your unique experiences and what you hope to achieve.

This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about my approach and to determine whether we're a good fit. There is no pressure to share everything at once—we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Together, we'll begin identifying your strengths, explore patterns that may be contributing to your challenges, and develop an initial plan tailored to your needs. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to begin your journey toward healing and personal growth.
