About My Clients
My clients have usually never attended therapy and don't know what to expect or have been disappointed with past counseling services due to a lack of improvement. Most clients report that I am easy to talk to and leave each session confident that we have accomplished something. I serve children, teens and adults with varying issues of depression, anxiety, anger, past trauma, or sexual behavior issues.
My Background and Approach
I take a client-centered approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that each person is the expert of their own experience. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their goals, challenges, and values at their own pace. I collaborate with clients to identify what they want to work on and tailor the therapeutic process to meet their unique needs. Depending on the client's goals and presenting concerns, I draw from several evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for healing from trauma, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help reprocess and reduce the impact of traumatic memories. By integrating these approaches, I aim to support clients in building insight and resilience.
