My approach
I use an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring sessions to meet each client's personal needs. My therapeutic style is a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Working with me is never a one-size-fits-all experience.
My focus
I specialize in supporting dancers and student-athletes who are struggling to prioritize their mental health while continuing to pursue their passions. My focus is on helping teenagers change their thinking patterns and actively work towards solutions.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I create a safe space for open and honest dialogue, meeting clients where they are in their journey. Through active listening and collaborative problem-solving, we work together to achieve lasting positive change.
My journey to mental healthcare
As a former competitive dancer, I experienced firsthand the immense pressures athletes face and the impact of neglecting one's mental well-being. This personal journey ignited my passion for supporting others in similar situations and led me to pursue a career in mental healthcare. I earned my Master of Arts in Marriage & Family Therapy from Alliant International University to gain the skills and knowledge needed to make a difference.
My goals for you
My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to overcome challenges, build resilience, and lead a fulfilling life. Together, we will work to enhance your self-awareness, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster a strong sense of self. I am committed to supporting you in achieving your mental health goals and thriving both on and off the stage or field.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will take the time to get to know each other and discuss your unique needs and goals. I will listen attentively to your story, offering a compassionate and non-judgmental ear. We will collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your values and aspirations. This initial meeting serves as the foundation for our therapeutic relationship, built on trust, respect, and a shared commitment to your well-being.
