If you are new to therapy or have prior experience, I am here to support you on your journey of self-discovery. Together, we will establish meaningful goals that empower you to create a life that resonates with your values and aspirations. Even if you're unsure of what you seek, let's explore it together. I invite you to approach our sessions with an open mind, ready to uncover new insights about yourself. While there may be challenges ahead, I urge you not to lose hope—I'm here to guide you through every obstacle you encounter.
The first couple of sessions will focus on gathering background information, such as your personal relationships, previous experiences in therapy, and any previous mental health diagnoses that you may have been given in the past. We will explore the reasons and your goals for coming to therapy.
My expertise focuses on clients aged 18 and older, and I am committed to helping you thrive. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together! I am here to help guide you over those obstacles. Clients who are 18+ are the clients that have been the focus of my training.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress through individualized planning. Although I often use CBT, I tailer the evidence practice (i.e., ACT, MI, CBT for Insomnia, Interpersonal Therapy) to each patient's needs.
