What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe therapy is a journey, and I start by building a strong, trusting relationship with each client. I am passionate about the work I do and bring an engaging and lively approach to sessions. My goal is to create a comfortable space where clients feel heard, supported, and able to be themselves. I use a client-centered approach and understand that therapy should look different for every person.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin by getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and identifying the goals you would like to work toward. Based on your symptoms, diagnosis, needs, and personal goals, I select interventions that best fit you, including CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, ACT, and logotherapy. I also recognize that mental health can be affected by real-life stressors, including finances. When appropriate, I incorporate financial social work principles, such as budgeting, credit building, increasing income, and developing a structured financial plan. Throughout therapy, we work together to evaluate progress and adjust our approach as your needs change.
