💬 My Approach / Therapist Style
My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure-based interventions for OCD, mindfulness, and strength-based practices. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative, practical, and compassionate. I bring warmth, curiosity, and appropriate humor into sessions while helping clients build skills they can use outside the therapy room.
🤍 Why I Became a Therapist
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by lived experience—time in the foster care system, personal struggles, traumatic relationships, and navigating divorce. Alongside motherhood, these experiences reinforced my belief in the importance of safety, empathy, and support during life’s transitions. Becoming a therapist was a way to transform challenge into purpose and help others feel less alone.
