I am a licensed mental health therapist offering individual therapy to adults aged nineteen and older. Whether you are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse or seeking personal growth, I am here to help you move forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable. Life can be challenging, and I understand that each person’s journey is unique. My approach to therapy is personalized, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based interventions that empower you to make lasting change.
As a therapist, I draw upon a variety of therapeutic techniques to ensure that our work together is tailored to your individual needs. I believe that a no one-size-fits-all approach works for everyone, which is why I integrate several therapeutic modalities to help you create the life you desire. Below are some of the key approaches I use:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the core interventions I use in my practice. This evidence-based therapy focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. With CBT, we will work together to recognize unhelpful thoughts, challenge them, and develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another powerful tool I use, especially for individuals who have experienced trauma. This therapy helps you process distressing memories and reduce the emotional charge attached to them, helping you heal from past experiences and regain a sense of control in your life.
Narrative Therapy is a meaningful approach that allows you to rewrite your story. Through this technique, we explore how the stories you tell yourself shape your identity and experiences. Together, we will examine how you have made sense of your life so far and work toward creating a new narrative that reflects your strengths, values, and aspirations.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that helps you build psychological flexibility. We will work together to accept difficult thoughts and emotions, rather than fighting them, and focus on living in line with your values. ACT is particularly useful for those struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-acceptance.
Solution-Focused Therapy is a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes solutions over emphasizing problems. We will focus on your strengths and past successes, identifying practical strategies to overcome obstacles and move forward in your life with confidence and clarity.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach that helps you resolve ambivalence and find motivation to make meaningful changes. Whether you are working toward addiction recovery, changing unhealthy habits, or taking on new goals, I will help you identify your intrinsic motivations and harness them for positive change.
Behavioral Activation is particularly helpful if you are feeling stuck in a cycle of negative emotions and inactivity. By identifying behaviors that are reinforcing your mood, we will work together to increase positive activities and break the cycle of depression and isolation.
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques are key components in my practice. These practices help you stay present in the moment, manage stress, and reduce anxiety. I teach you simple but powerful tools like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and restorative yoga poses to help calm your nervous system and increase your sense of well-being.
Finally, I emphasize self-care strategies throughout our work together. Building a solid foundation of self-compassion and self-care is vital to emotional healing and growth. Together, we will explore personalized strategies for nurturing your mental, physical, and emotional health in sustainable ways.
If you are ready to take the next step in your journey toward healing, growth, and positive change, I am here to help and I would be honored to support you. Please reach out today to schedule an appointment and begin your therapeutic journey.
