About My Therapeutic Approach
I utilize an eclectic variety of therapeutic approaches, tailored to each person’s unique needs, goals, preferences, and strengths. These may include mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MB-CBT), journaling, positive psychology, meditation, somatic techniques, and a solution-focused approach. My holistic style integrates mind, body, and spirit, fostering comprehensive healing and growth.

Our Collaborative Partnership
We will work together to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and mutual understanding. This partnership is designed to explore and integrate therapeutic modalities that foster long-term healing, growth, and contentment. Our work will be an ongoing dialogue where we regularly check in on your progress, reflect on past experiences, and envision future goals.
In our partnership:
You’ll bring: Your authentic self, a willingness for self-awareness, and an openness to change.
I’ll bring: Guidance, motivation, and a safe space for exploration and expression.
The First Session
Our first session is an opportunity to assess if we’re a good fit. We will discuss:
Your reasons for seeking therapy now
What you hope to achieve
Any concerns or questions you may have
This session also allows us to get to know each other better. I’ll spend time learning about:
Who you are as a person
What barriers or challenges you are experiencing
What brings you joy and gives you hope
Any past or current mental or physical health issues you are coping with
This information helps me tailor my approach to best support you if you choose to move forward with ongoing sessions.
Why Choose Me?
Personalized Care: I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and goals.
Holistic Focus: I address the interconnected aspects of mind, body, and spirit.
Empathy and Compassion: You’ll feel heard, understood, and supported throughout our journey.
Evidence-Based Practices: I draw from a range of proven therapeutic modalities to ensure effective outcomes.
Together, we will explore:
Mindfulness and awareness to cultivate presence and inner peace
Somatic techniques to connect with your body and release tension
Journaling and creative expression to process emotions and gain clarity
Solution-focused strategies to identify and build upon your strengths
Through this collaborative process, you’ll develop tools to navigate life’s challenges, enhance self-esteem, and create a life centered around what truly matters to you.
