I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgement. I value creating a genuine, collaborative relationship and understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, so I strive to make the process feel comfortable and approachable.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive and goal oriented. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused techniques, and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, so I tailor sessions to each client's unique needs, strengths and goals. I focus on helping clients improve emotional regulation, reduce anxiety and stress, strengthen communication and build confidence in navigating life's challenges.
During the first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy, your current concerns and what you hope to gain from the process. My goal is to create a welcoming and comfortable environment where you feel supported and understood. There is no pressure to share everything at once- we move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll begin identifying goals and discuss how therapy can best support your needs moving forward.
