In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, I focus on getting to know you as an individual person outside of your current situation. I also allow you to get to know me as a therapist in order to build a safe and comfortable space. During that session, I will allow you to guide the session in which you decide how in depth you would like to go. I want to get a full picture of who you are as a person and how the difficult situation you are going through is impacting you in different areas of your life. I typically go through the standards of therapy and explain how therapy will go such as assigning potential homework and ethical limits. I also understand how stressful it can be to take this leap so I try to create a relaxed environment through playful humor.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Since working in this field for 9 years now, I have held different roles such as working with children, teens, children on the spectrum, clients in low poverty situations and from multiple different cultures. With these experiences I am able to truly piece together you as a whole person and not just a "person with a problem". Understanding your background and the identity you were required to create to survive but also striving to build the identity where you can find peace now while honoring what brought you to where you are is the journey I create with you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

The clients who tend to thrive with me are the ones who are open and honest even if it's difficult. The clients who want to explore their full identity and confront the areas of their lives that they want to change and reclaim their own power and confidence.
