Therapy style

My therapy style is grounded in mindfulness and positive psychology, focusing on empowering clients to build a stronger sense of self. I help clients reframe negative thoughts, develop coping techniques, and use tailored homework assignments to foster growth and a healthier sense of identity. I often tell clients they’re like a puzzle with all the pieces they need—I’m simply here to help them put those pieces together. Through this process, I guide clients to recognize their strengths, stay present, and find value in themselves as they work toward personal growth and fulfillment.

Interests

As a Clinical Director and counselor, my interests outside of work provide a much-needed balance to the demands of my professional role. I'm a self-proclaimed Disney addict, and I love exploring everything the magical world of Disney has to offer. Whether it’s planning trips to the parks, enjoying classic movies with my kids, or collecting memorabilia, Disney is a source of joy and inspiration for me. Spending quality time with my children is another passion I cherish deeply. Whether we’re experiencing the magic of Disney together, playing games, or simply enjoying each other’s company, family time is a priority. It’s an opportunity to create lasting memories and deepen our bond. Additionally, I’m a huge sports fan. Watching and discussing games, whether it’s baseball, basketball, or another sport, is something I truly enjoy. It’s a great way to connect with others and unwind while celebrating the spirit of teamwork and competition. These hobbies not only keep me grounded but also allow me to recharge, bringing renewed energy and focus to my work and supporting others.
