About My Clients

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take! I have helped countless clients who have carried the weight of the world on their shoulders. This burden has negatively impacted their ability to lead fulfilling lives and become the best version of themselves. If this sounds familiar, you don't have to live in pain! Therapy is a safe setting where you are compassionately accepted for who you are. I validate your past while helping you find a more purposeful future.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and compassion-focused. I offer compassionate feedback, subtle humor, and empathetic listening. I hold a safe space to unpack the heaviness to feel less burdened. By holding a safe space, we explore and process the unresolved while tending to the wounded child within. As we continue towards healing, I help clients cultivate their strengths to overcome challenges and support their authentic selves. I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all solution; I personalize each session according to my client's needs and goals through psychotherapy integration, including evidence-based and holistic methods. I specialize in trauma-informed, neuroscience-integrated, and compassion-focused treatment and certified in Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy (REBT), and mindfulness techniques.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My place in this world is to be the foundation for people when they feel as if they have none. My duty is to provide my clients with the tools they need to continue the process of healing long after they cease from receiving my services. I am the pillar of strength for my clients to lean on until, together, we find a way for them to stand tall on their own. This is the therapeutic relationship; the definition of healing that lovingly guides me in my practice.
