I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients focus on their strengths and create practical, achievable goals. Together, we’ll explore what’s already working in your life and build on that, allowing us to move towards positive change. This approach aligns with my belief in your innate ability to heal and grow. By focusing on solutions, we can navigate life’s challenges and create new, empowering ways to respond to them.

I integrate Mindfulness-Based Therapy into my practice by encouraging clients to stay present and aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment. This approach helps foster self-compassion and reduces the power of negative self-talk. Together, we’ll develop mindfulness techniques to create space between your emotions and reactions, allowing for a more thoughtful and intentional response to life’s challenges. It’s about building inner strength and finding peace in the present moment.

I integrate trauma therapy into my practice by creating a compassionate, supportive environment where clients can safely explore their experiences. Together, we’ll use strengths-based and client-centered approaches to uncover how past traumas shape your present self. I aim to help you process these experiences and develop new ways of responding to challenges, empowering you to heal and grow at your own pace.

I have extensive experience in assisting clients with managing anxiety and stress through a compassionate, client-centered approach. Together, we will thoroughly examine the root causes of their anxiety, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and craft practical coping strategies. Additionally, I will help them find calm and regain control over their mental well-being by utilizing mindfulness techniques and emphasizing their strengths.

I specialize in guiding clients through body image issues with confidence and understanding. Utilizing a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, I empower individuals to challenge negative beliefs about their bodies, helping them develop a healthier, more positive relationship with food and self-image. We will explore intuitive eating and HAES principles to foster self-acceptance and promote overall well-being.

I offer compassionate support to help you navigate the emotional pain of significant life changes. I work with you to process your feelings, understand how your past informs your present, and build resilience. Together, we’ll explore and honor your unique journey, allowing space for healing and growth as you find new ways to move forward.
