About My Clients

You’ll leave each meeting with (1) a clearer understanding of what’s driving your distress, (2) at least one actionable strategy to try before we meet again, and (3) a growing sense of self‐compassion and confidence. Over time, clients report improved mood regulation, stronger relationships, and a more authentic, values‐driven life. My goal is for you to feel heard, challenged, and equipped—so therapy becomes not just a place to talk, but a launchpad for meaningful change.

My Background and Approach

I use an integrative, strengths‐oriented framework that draws from Cognitive‐Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion‐Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), wrapped in a humanistic, Rogerian spirit. Sessions feel collaborative and active: we clarify goals, explore patterns, practice new skills, and experiment between sessions. Because many of my clients value practicality, I translate research into concrete tools—brief mindfulness exercises, communication exercises, or customized “survival kits” for tough moments—so progress is measurable and momentum stays high.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. As a child, I suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks. Through my own therapy, I learned how to handle my anxiety and move past it so that it didn't have control over me. I haven't had a panic attack in years and I want you to feel the same freedom that I experience every day.
