I help clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts and emotions honestly. My approach is collaborative—I believe healing happens when clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make changes at their own pace.
For clients experiencing depression, I focus on helping them understand the patterns, beliefs, and life stressors that may be contributing to their symptoms. Together, we work on rebuilding motivation, increasing connection, and developing coping skills that create structure and stability. I help clients challenge negative thinking, identify strengths, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may feel lost or numb.
For clients dealing with anxiety, I teach practical tools to calm the mind and body, such as grounding skills, breathing techniques, and cognitive reframing. We identify triggers, explore how anxiety shows up in daily life, and build a personalized plan to help clients feel more in control. I support clients in learning how to face fears gradually, reduce avoidance, and create a sense of safety within themselves.
For clients struggling with self-esteem, I help them understand where their self-critical beliefs originated and how those beliefs are impacting their relationships, goals, and overall well-being. We work on replacing old narratives with more compassionate and empowering ones. I guide clients in building confidence, setting boundaries, recognizing their strengths, and developing a healthier relationship with themselves.
Across all specialties, I tailor my approach to each person—drawing from evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT-informed techniques, motivational interviewing, and person-centered therapy. My goal is always to help clients feel seen, supported, and capable of creating lasting change.
When you sit down with me, you can expect a space that feels real, relaxed, and supportive. I’m not a “clipboard and nods” kind of therapist—I show up as a genuine human being first. I believe clients open up when they feel truly seen and safe, so I focus on creating an atmosphere where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.
I work hard to build strong rapport, because the relationship is the foundation of good therapy. I take time to get to know who you are—not just your struggles, but your strengths, your humor, your story, and what you value. I want you to feel comfortable enough to talk about the hard things, but also supported enough to laugh or feel relief in the lighter moments.
Clients often describe my style as warm, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I’m compassionate but honest, gentle but direct when you need clarity or guidance. I’ll always meet you exactly where you are emotionally, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
In sessions, I’m attentive and engaged. I’ll ask meaningful questions, offer reflections, help you connect dots, and highlight your strengths even when you don’t see them yourself. I’m not afraid to challenge old patterns or help you reframe unhelpful thoughts—but I always do it with empathy and respect.
My goal is for you to walk out of each session feeling heard, supported, and empowered, with tools or insights you can apply right away. Most importantly, I want you to feel like you’re talking to someone who genuinely cares—because I do.
Clients continue coming back to see me because they feel truly supported, understood, and valued in our work together. I create a space where people can show up exactly as they are—whether they’re overwhelmed, discouraged, hopeful, or unsure—and know they’ll be met with genuine care, consistency, and respect.
One of the biggest reasons clients return is the strong therapeutic relationship we build. I’m fully present with them. I remember their stories, celebrate their progress, and stay with them through the difficult moments. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m real with them—not a distant professional, but someone who connects, listens deeply, and truly invests in their growth.
Clients also come back because they see that therapy with me is practical and effective. Together, we set meaningful goals and work step-by-step toward them. I offer tools, insights, and coping strategies that they can use in daily life, and I adapt those tools to fit their personality, pace, and needs. My approach is structured when it needs to be, but flexible when life gets messy. That balance helps clients feel both supported and empowered.
Another reason clients return is that I create a nonjudgmental, calm, and encouraging environment where they feel safe being vulnerable. They know they can talk about the hard things without worrying about criticism or dismissal. I hold space for their emotions, validate their experiences, and help them make sense of what they’re going through.
Finally, clients come back because they feel progress—sometimes subtle, sometimes significant. They start to notice changes in how they think, cope, relate to others, and view themselves. They feel seen, heard, and guided in a way that helps them trust the process.
In short, clients continue therapy with me because they know I am genuinely in their corner, committed to their healing, and capable of helping them create real, lasting positive change.
