    I work collaboratively with my clients, guiding them to identify unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. I help clients reframe or replace these patterns with more balanced, realistic thoughts. I will also assign homework or exercises, such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and relaxation techniques, to reinforce learning and practice outside of sessions. I am trained to help clients learn and apply skills in: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. I provide a high level of support while maintaining clear boundaries and offering consistent feedback.

    Together, we will foster a deeper understanding of you and cultivate resilience to cope with life's ups and downs. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a profound belief in the human capacity for growth and transformation. I recognize that life can be demanding, especially when you feel like you’re stuck or barely moving toward the places you really want to be. Taking that first step towards seeking support is an act of self-compassion. If you need help finding the voice or speaking the language of loved ones, allow me to guide your steps... and your words!

I utilize an integrative approach tailored to you. I'm not here to tell you what to do; I'm here to help you dive deeper and equip you to be the best you.
