My practice style is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented, rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), with a strong trauma-informed approach. I specialize in working with individuals impacted by sexual abuse trauma, providing a safe and supportive space to process experiences, reduce shame, and rebuild a healthy sense of identity and self-worth.
Through CBT, I help clients explore the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while developing strategies to challenge unhelpful patterns. With SFBT, I emphasize strengths, resilience, and practical solutions, guiding clients to take small, achievable steps toward lasting change.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I prioritize safety, trust, and empowerment in every session. I recognize the lasting effects of trauma and carefully pace interventions to avoid re-traumatization while encouraging growth and healing. Clients are supported in building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and fostering resilience to navigate life’s challenges.
I believe therapy should balance practical skill-building with empathetic listening. My role is to walk alongside clients as they work toward both immediate relief and deeper healing. For survivors of sexual abuse, this often means addressing trauma-related symptoms, restoring a sense of control, and cultivating hope for the future.
Overall, my practice style integrates evidence-based methods with compassion and care, creating a safe environment where clients can move forward with greater confidence, peace, and strength.
Treatment Approach
I work with CBT, Person-Centered, SFBT Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness, and experiential techniques. I take an eclectic approach working to customize my approach to each of my clients.
Passion and Dedication:
I am passionate about mental health advocacy, I am deeply committed to breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illness and promoting awareness and understanding within the community. I actively engage in ongoing professional development to stay abreast of the latest research and therapeutic techniques, ensuring that I can provide the highest standard of care to my clients.
Above all, I believe in the inherent strength and resilience of every individual. I see my role not as a fixer of problems, but as a guide and supporter empowering clients to tap into their own inner resources and live more fulfilling lives.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to walk alongside my clients in their journey of healing and discovery. I enjoy helping my clients to find and build on their strengths. I push my clients to expand as individuals, but I hold them in the highest esteem.
