Great to meet you!

Thank you for reaching out today. I support clients working through grief, anxiety, and loss, including experiences like infertility and emotional trauma. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I am here to help people who struggle to understand and express their emotions.

My priority as a therapist is building the therapy-client alliance and working collaboratively to help people meet their own goals. I use active listening and engagement to support people who are experiencing difficulty.

I specialize in working with people dealing with grief, loss, anxiety, and trauma. Some experiences include infertility and emotional trauma. I help people deal with grief and express their emotions.

From day one, we collaboratively create goals that the client wants to reach. I am here to help the client articulate and process these goals. I use techniques such as guided discovery to help clients understand their barriers and how to move past them.

My approach to therapy

I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy is sessions with clients. The techniques I employ most often are active listening and aiding clients to process emotions. I help bring the client's experience to the present. Client's learn the cycle of their emotions, thoughts and actions and how to communicate in a balanced way.

What you can expect from me

The first session is all about the client visualizing barriers and the goals they are striving to reach. It is an open space for the client to discover their own reasons for reaching out for help. I work collaboratively with people to process emotions and understand themselves better as they begin their therapy journey.
