What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Clients can expect to leave each session with a sense of knowing that there is someone who truly cares for your mental wellbeing and holistic health. They can also expect to leave challenged, with tangible opportunities for growth until our next session.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman Couples Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy & Solution-Focused Therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a counselor, I feel my biggest strength is my depth of care for you and your success. I truly want to help you thrive. Another strength would be my ability to balance truth and kindness. Truth and kindness must be balanced in order to create a safe and structured environment for growth.
