My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and integrative. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and EMDR, tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals. I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can develop greater self-awareness, process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and build practical skills for lasting change.

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they can begin sharing what brings them to therapy at a pace that feels comfortable. I take time to understand each client’s concerns, personal history, current challenges, and goals for therapy. Together, we begin identifying areas of focus and discussing an approach that best fits their individual or relationship needs. My goal is to help clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable as we begin building a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
