I have worked in the Mental Health field for over 10 years and have a strong passion working with individuals dealing with stress and anxiety, due to personal and/or relationship issues.
My belief is that therapy is best done collaboratively. I use a blend of person-centered, cognitive, and solution-focused therapies. As I believe everyone is different, I also believe treatment goals should be individualized and tailored to fit your specific needs.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from several evidence-based models to best meet the unique needs of each client. These include person-centered and insight-oriented therapies, cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational approaches, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), solution-focused strategies, and creative counseling methods. I recognize that meaningful change often arises not only through verbal processing, but also through visual and kinesthetic experiences. This belief informs my use of both traditional talk therapy and experiential techniques that engage the whole person—mind, body, and emotion.
In this first session, we'll take some time to go over what brings you in—your presenting concerns—as well as some background information that can help me understand your experiences and context. We'll also talk about what you're hoping to get out of therapy so we can set some goals and create a roadmap together for where you’d like to go. This will help us make sure our work is focused and aligned with what’s most important to you.
