What's My Approach to Therapy?

At my practice, I take great care in connecting each client with the right clinician. When someone reaches out, I begin by understanding what they are seeking from counseling—their goals, challenges, and preferences. From there, I thoughtfully match them with a therapist whose expertise, personality, and availability align with the client’s needs. My goal is always to ensure that clients feel comfortable, supported, and in a space that encourages their growth.

In my own work as a clinician, I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but I recognize that every client is unique. Rather than relying on a single approach, I adapt my style to what best supports each individual, drawing from different methods as needed. This flexibility allows me to meet clients where they are and create a therapeutic experience tailored to their specific circumstances.

My Practice & Services

At The Dragonfly Path, we understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and we are here to make that process as supportive and comfortable as possible. Each client is carefully matched with a clinician whose expertise, approach, and personality align with their unique needs, so that therapy feels safe, effective, and tailored to you. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, our goal is to provide a space where you can explore, heal, and thrive. Taking the first step toward support is easier than you think—reach out today, and let us help you find the guidance and care you deserve.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

It?s completely normal to feel unsure about starting therapy. Taking that first step can feel daunting, but often it?s all you need to begin the process of growth and healing. Many clients find that once they start talking, they quickly realize that reaching out was the right decision. Therapy is a space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, and simply beginning can be the start of meaningful change.
