My ideal client is someone who feels weighed down by past experiences and is ready to make a change, but is unsure of how to do so. Many of my clients are adolescents, young adults, or adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulties in relationships. They may feel stuck in patterns, whether it’s repeating unhealthy coping strategies, feeling disconnected from loved ones, or carrying heavy emotions they do not fully understand.
My clinical approach is grounded in person-centered therapy and integrates evidence-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Sand Tray Therapy, among other trauma-informed interventions.
Clients can expect a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning we work together to identify goals, explore challenges, and build on strengths. Sessions often focus on developing insight, emotional regulation skills, and healthy coping strategies.
