For the woman you are — and the one you’re becoming.
My approach to therapy is client-centered and flexible, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of the individual. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I work through a trauma-informed lens and often incorporate CBT, DBT, behavioral strategies, and solution-focused techniques to support healing, growth, and emotional balance. I value being a lifelong learner and continuously work to strengthen my skills to better support my clients.
My Approach To Therapy
- Those that may have lost or never found their voice and want to build their confidence to communicate assertively to meet their own needs.
- Women redefining themselves and rebuilding life after becoming a mother, or adjusting to life after a divorce or break-up.
- Overcoming people-pleasing and learning to establish healthy boundaries and expectations of others
- Individuals seeking to have work-life balance and wanting to establish healthy self-care routines
- Individuals battling with guilt and shame and want to learn to let go and move forward in life
I love working with:
A typical session with me lasts about an hour, via telehealth
using Simple Practice. The first session will be set up for me
to learn all about you, where we will complete a formal
assessment, to explore your presenting issues, discuss your
history, and set therapeutic goals.
Each follow up session will be guided by you, since therapy is your safe space to express yourself, work through your obstacles and complete your goals.”
What a session with me looks like:
Authenticity
I prioritize being genuine and transparent in our work together. This helps build trust and rapport, and creates a safe space where you can be your true self without judgment. When I am authentic, it encourages you to show up as your authentic self too, which is essential for meaningful growth.
My theraputic Values:
Empathy
While we may not have lived the same experiences, I have personally navigated both positive and challenging emotions. I strive to deeply understand your experiences and emotions so that I can walk alongside you in a way that feels supportive, validating, and empowering.
Empowerment
I believe in the transformative power of taking back control of your life. Therapy is about helping you recognize your strengths, make decisions aligned with your values, and build confidence in your ability to create the life you want. Feeling empowered is about knowing you have the tools and capacity to navigate challenges and celebrate successes.
