About My Clients

I enjoy working with clients who are open to exploring their thoughts and feelings, seeking personal growth or navigating life’s transitions. This includes individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or stress. I can also help those looking to enhance their self-awareness and coping strategies. I have extensive experience working with the military population, and I have helped many clients navigate the challenges, transitions and stressors that life throws at us.

My Background and Approach

I utilize CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behavior. When clients understand the negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to their problems, they are able to reframe these thoughts, replacing them with more balanced and realistic ones. By making positive behavioral changes and increasing healthy coping skills, my clients feel more empowered and less depressed, anxious or stressed. Utilizing ACT, I help clients accept their thoughts and feelings without judgement so they can move forward through difficult emotions. We’ll work on changing your relationship with unhelpful and negative thoughts, so that these thoughts consume less of your time and energy. I believe that self-compassion is essential to emotional health and well-being, and we will work together to maximize your potential.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have a wealth of experience working with diverse populations, including military, underserved populations, domestic violence victims and offenders, children and adolescents, LGBTQ, etc. My greatest strengths include empathy, active listening and a nonjudgmental approach. I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to individual needs, promoting personal growth and resilience.
